So far there's been lots of speculation for #COVID19 asymptomatic carrier rate
—Mild or no symptoms: 60% nature.com/articles/d4158…
—"Some degree"—Fauci wsj.com/articles/why-i…
—Mild or no symptoms: 86% science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
We really need to know this for people w/o symptoms
1/2
To resolve this we need a random mass screen of a diverse (age, gender, ancestry, geography) group without symptoms and shouldn't this undertaken straight away?
Thoughts?

This essay from @mlipsitch reinforces how little we know compared with testing done in Asian countries, the very high asymptomatic rate

"The feckless federal response created such delays in testing that most cases here are not being confirmed, even now"

The new curves for 21 March:
US deaths very steepen, now approaching Iran
US case curve has surpassed even Spain
It just keeps looking worse.
Thanks @jburnmurdoch @FT who is all over this each day
Here you can see what has happened for the US deaths curve for the past 6 days
It's still hard to interpret the US case curve because of the marked delay for #COVID19 testing.
@COVID19Tracking just updated shows remarkable 4X increase in testing in 1 day. Tests still have ~48 hr turnaround

Deconvoluting #COVID19's historic big miss in the US
theatlantic.com/health/archive… a sharp and thorough analysis by @alexismadrigal and @yayitsrob @TheAtlantic via @AdrienneLaF @edyong209 w/ storytelling curves
What I refer to as "historic big miss" are the 2 months of not doing any #COVID19 testing.
Essential to get ahead of the outbreak:
Testing anyone in the US w/ pneumonia or symptoms, do extensive contact tracing, find carriers, get #healthcare workers protected, limit the hit
This from Italy. How many super-spreaders were missed in the US for 2 months by coming to the ER and being sent home with no testing possible?

1. Let's go. Last night, the count was up to 408 but Fernando Simón has just announced Spain is now up to 441 Coronavirus cases. He argues that the situation is even more controlled than before because they are almost all related cases.
2. Fernando Simón warns the country should not expect so many updates of regional figures, because it is the weekend. He chuckles. As if the Coronavirus cares about that…
3. Fernando Simón again announces 24 cases in Catalonia. Regional health authorities there confirmed YESTERDAY they were up to 37.

Did Benjamin Netanyahu & Philip Zelikow write “the 9/11 script”? Netanyahu has said repeatedly that he PREDICTED 9/11 back in 1995 - apart from the seemingly unanticipated “flying bombs” & actually naming Osama bin Laden, who was barely on anyone’s radar back in 1995.
Thread
1/
Netanyahu in his book Fighting Terrorism (1995) "predicted" that - if we don't stop "this rising tide of Islamic terrorism" - one day "a nuclear-armed Iran" might use “its pre-armed militants in the West” to detonate “a nuclear bomb in the basement of the World Trade Center”
2/
In 1998 Philip Zelikow w/Ashton Carter & John Deutch published article "Catastrophic Terrorism" in Foreign Affairs (CFR) also raising the specter of nukes under the WTC & implicitly pointing to Osama bin Laden, just indicted for the East Africa bombings

Fans of #TheFamilyNetflix have been asking why there's not more mainstream media coverage. Director @djessemoss & I've done CNN, MSNBC, PBS. But no question less coverage than 2009, when story was 2 political sex scandals. Sex="news"; real power is too complicated.
@djessemoss So here's a short history of #TheFamily & press (non)coverage... From The Family's POV, its secrecy is not conspiracy but efficiency. "The more invisible you can make yr org," sez #DougCoe, "the more influence it'll have." True; that's why we have lobbying & disclosure laws.
@djessemoss It's also theoretically why we have the Fourth Estate, the press, to hold the powerful accountable. If the press can't comfort the afflicted, as the saying goes, it may, on occasion, afflict the comfortable. Theoretically...

1/ Hillary Clinton’s email problems began in her first day as secretary of state. She insisted on using her personal BlackBerry for all her email communications, but she wasn’t allowed to take that phone on the seventh floor of the State Dept, because the entire 7th floor of…
2/ …the Harry S Truman building is a SCIF duly nicknamed Mahogany Row do to the amount of beautiful mahogany would that was used in building it.

But Hillary has always considered herself above following the rules, this was frustrating as hell.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
