1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 right now:
2/6 The day-by-day sharp rise in cases in 🇨🇦 and provinces reporting new cases with no links to travel are the focus of our concern right now. We need to get this right, right now. All clean-hands on deck. #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve #COVID19
3/6 Unlinked #COVID19 cases are signals of community spread. Applying strong public health measures to detect-test-isolate cases & trace-manage contacts continues to be our top priority. #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve
4/6 These measures are needed to investigate community spread, find and interrupt hidden chains of transmission & slow the spread of the virus. #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve
5/6 #COVID19 is not the same in all areas of 🇨🇦, therefore public health responses are being tailored to meet local challenges – but we must all be one with #socialdistancing - everyone, everywhere band together to #FlattentheCurve #WeGotThis #PlanktheCurve #ProudtobeCanadian
6/6 Over 55,000 people have been tested to date at prov + nat’l public health labs across 🇨🇦 to identify #COVID19 cases, look for community spread & quickly interrupt any chains of transmission to #SlowTheSpread #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve

Now it is up to the rest of us, Canada 🇨🇦

Canadians are embracing the concept of #SocialDistancing whenever, wherever and however possible depending on their situation.

#proudtobeCanadian #StrongerTogether Image
#SocialDistancing may need to happen different ways for different people – one thing we all need to have in common is 2 metres of space between us.

Now is the time to love your space 🇨🇦

#COVID19 #ProtectTheVulnerable
🇨🇦 More Space Please, We’re Canadian!

Canadians are finding different ways to maintain the 2-metre space between us.

NC #COVID UPDATE (3/18 - noon)

There's a new hurdle with testing.

The first shortage was test kits.

The second shortage was extraction kits, which are needed to extract the RNA that gets tested.

The new shortage is masks, gloves, and gowns for medical personnel.
#ncpol
As it turns out, this *directly* impacts COVID testing. You can't do a COIVD test without this protective equipment because we cannot risk our medical personnel getting sick and in North Carolina - as in other states - we're running low on the equipment they need to stay safe.
The shortage is so severe that it may result in a modification of the eligibility criteria for who qualifies for a COVID test in order to ensure that there's enough testing capacity for higher-risk populations. DHHS is currently reviewing guidance.

Just spoke w/ a surg resident from a major program where elective cases R cancelled but resident schedules haven’t been changed appropriately to address #COVID exposure concerns. This resident is expected to TRIPLE SCRUB a case in 2 days. How are people letting this happen? 1/8
As a intern w/ zero authoritative power, I’m incredibly thankful for our chief residents & fellows here @UMichSurgery who have taken it upon themselves to work with faculty & our dept leadership to address this crisis and it’s impact on our health system & day 2 day workforce 2/8
Services are limited 2 only essential “skeleton” team members, usually a chief/fellow + junior resident who round. Residents are not staffing clinics. Urgent/emergent cases are covered by level appropriate residents w/ care to minimize # of ppl in hospital at any given time 3/8

Crutches&Spice ♿️ : Rude For A Disabled Person
@Imani_Barbarin
Ableds,

hi, hello, wish we could have met under better circumstances, but here we are.

Generally speaking people don’t care about ableism until it affects them so you are probably panic-following myself and a bunch of other disabled people

Here’s a crash course.

Thread

1/?
You’re probably experiencing a lot of different emotions based on how the government is treating the #COVIDー19 pandemic and watching in horror as people around you dismiss your fear as irrational.

I would love to say I’m going to hold your hand through this thread, but

2/?
We simply don’t have the time.

What you’re experiencing is ableism on a national scale.

Early on, many wrote off the #coronavirus as something “just elderly and disabled (sick) people die from.” People felt they didn’t have to take action because only the most disposable

FM @NicolaSturgeon: "The daily update of confirmed cases will be published at 2pm today as normal. I can tell Parliament we will see a sharp rise in cases today. We may also see further evidence of community transmission of Coronavirus." #FMQs
FM: "My view is the time is right to move to the Delay phase, and I believe the four UK nations will reach a decision on that this afternoon." #FMQs
FM: "The Health Secretary and I have been considering what further actions we need to take, particularly to protect the resilience of our frontline emergency workers. That does involve our position on mass gatherings." #FMQs

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
