 Its been drilled into us the importance of #PPE & proper disinfecting to limit disease transmission. Off the job, its proper #HandHygiene, #SocialDistancing & self-monitoring of symptoms. #FlattenTheCurve or the hospitals will be overloaded.
Here is why #COVID19 worries me!
2/
 Named for the crown-like spikes on their surface. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Like MERS and SARS, #COVID19 is an infection of the respiratory system.
3/
 First identified in Wuhan, China in Dec 2019. #COVID19 has reached 169 countries, with ~235,000 cases and ~10,000 deaths. And it is spreading quickly. It took over 3 months to reach the first 100,000 cases, and only 12 days to reach the next 100,000.

Amazing. @cvspharmacy @CVSHealth @LarryMerloCVS They have little regard for their employees health, & safety. They haven’t provided #PPE, & according to CVS, even if an employee has @Coronavirus, but as long as they didn’t show symptoms, no deep cleaning of store. 1/4
Meanwhile, we know #COVID19US is highly infectious regardless of symptoms. So as the company is going to make record profits over #COVID19, they have not taken any action to reduce risk to staff or the customer. 2/4
Pharmacists and techs are given Wipes and hand sanitizer. This constitutes unacceptable working conditions for pharmacists, who work long hours w/no breaks, & their staff who are underpaid, all are exhausted. #CVS should be held accountable, as they will be making record 3/4

A quick guide to #PPE (personal protective equipment) for non-professionals. This is NOT medical advice.

PPE includes masks, face shields, hoods, respirators, gloves, etc. PPE is used to protect healthcare workers and patients from spreading and catching infectious diseases.
1/
METHODS OF DISEASE TRANSMISSION:
Different infectious diseases are transmitted in different ways:

* Direct Contact
* Indirect Contact (fomites)
* Fecal-oral Route
* Droplet Transmission
* Airborne (Aerosol) Transmission
* Vector-borne transmission (fleas, mosquitos, etc)
#PPE 2/
Methods of infectious disease transmission are NOT mutually exclusive.

Many diseases, like #SARS_COV_2, the virus causing #COVID19, spread by droplets, aerosols, indirect contact, and the fecal-oral route.

The difference between droplets & aerosols can be blurry in practice. 3/

Pikuach Nefesh, Social Distancing and a Rabbi’s Case for the Need to Protect Life
Rabbi Robert Harris

1/x thread.

Jews especially, please read this.
A caveat before I begin: I have hesitated from responding to the Coronavirus since news of it first broke, since I am neither a scientist nor a public health official, but now… as a rabbi, a faculty member of the Jewish Theological Seminary and as a former member both of the
Rabbinical Assembly’s Committee on Jewish Law and Standards and of the Israel Rabbinical Assembly Law Committee, I want to say clearly and unequivocally: we must take drastic action to enforce social distancing, in the absence of clear governmental directives.

Many schools are making the move from on-ground to online classes. Having taught a fully online course at @USCRossier last semester, I wanted to share some tips for instructors who are using Zoom for the first time.
Be prepared: This sounds obvious but as an instructor, be sure to explore the features of Zoom to become as familiar as possible with the platform prior to your scheduled class.
Breakout rooms: Helpful feature which allows you to split the class into pairs or small groups. I used this feature EVERY class to break up the monotony of a full class discussion. I then popped into different breakout rooms to answer questions and listen to the conversation.

Unlike others, Elizabeth Warren isnt just asking Black people to vote for her. She’s listening and working to earn our support:

I was invited to travel to South Carolina and spent Friday afternoon with @ewarren and then the weekend with her staff speaking to voters. 1/
A few week’s prior, the campaign reached out saying they thought Black men should be a seen focal point.

I figured it was all talk, as other campaigns had reached out and said similar. Most just wanted me to use my platform to amplify them — some even attempting to buy me. 2/
But Elizabeth Warren was serious. It wasn’t enough for her to just have an agenda for Black people (elizabethwarren.com/plans/agenda-b…) she wanted to actually hear from us.

They asked if I’d moderate a conversation with a group of Black men and her. Which I couldn’t believe. 3/
