COVID-19 research:

This article describes pro-inflammatory role of Angiotensin II.

Aii builds up in the lungs during COVID19 because the enzyme that usually breaks it down is hijacked by viral particles - ACE2 is what the virus uses to break into cells.

On immune response to COVID-19 (without specific mention of Aii)

Raise your hand if you're as SHOCKED as I am that the Hobby Lobby Owner's OKC mansion is conveniently located within 1500 ft of the remote "Lookout Point" campground
at
Nichols Boy Scout Ranch.

Just so, so terribly SHOCKED. 🙄
p.s. It might just be me, but I could swear I've seen the shape of the Hobby Lobby warehouse parking lots somewhere before.

But who knows if the architect pulled the site design out of somewhere himself,
or if it was a special request that Green stuffed into the project specs.
Seriously.

There are TWO parking lots with exactly the same shape.

😂

Runyon Canyon must be LA's answer to Aspen, Vail, Ischgl & other Tyrolean ski resorts during the lockdown.

Pro tip: stay away from mountains where there are lots of people, even if it's in the open air.

It won't end well.

I hate to say this, because @twitter @verified really sucks, but....

Don't trust any medical information from accounts that purport to be doctors, PhD or med organizations that don't have verified accounts, unless you can independently establish other trusted accounts can vouch.
There is SO much disinfo out there, and I'm seeing a bunch of 'doctors' saying things that are clearly inaccurate.

Yes, I know that I'm neither a doctor nor a verified account (not for lack of trying ) -
I don't think you should blindly trust me either.
But organizations that have started in the past month that aren't verified, esp. when only unverified doctors follow them....

beware.

#COVID-19 has yet to be documented in #Yemen, but Abdel Ilah, who manages the factory that opened three days ago, is getting ready for its arrival. “#Coronavirus is knocking on the whole world’s door,” he said.

#YEMEN
The five-year conflict has killed more than 100,000 and unleashed a humanitarian crisis in which many others have died. Yemen’s shattered healthcare infrastructure and already weakened population suggest the virus could wreak more havoc if takes hold.

On both sides of the divide, #Yemen has stepped up measures to contain and mitigate against coronavirus should it appear, including screening and tracking arrivals.

@PDRescue
#Covidー19uk Statement

Pawprints Dog Rescue was first set up as a charity in 2012 with the primary aim to save the lives of stray dogs abandoned at local pounds. We will continue to do our utmost to meet any demands in the almost surreal situation that we find ourselves in, as
long as we can meet the financial obligation this will place on us from the highly likely increase of abandonment due to fear, illness or very sadly, death; that we can provide the kennel space and ensure that we have back up plans in place in case of mass self-isolation or
illness of staff at kennels or volunteers; we promise to try our hardest to save as many dogs lives as we possibly can. However, this may become impossible and people should prepare themselves for this eventuality. We expect that most of the larger rescue centres will cease

Am getting really tired of this. I have absolutely no interest in the street-fighting gangs of the United States, but I feel compelled to put a few things on the record. Thread
~@MrAndyNgo played no role in the production of this article. To repeat: NO ROLE.

If you would like to harass someone about it, harass me. Catch a flight to Sydney & sit down & have a coffee with me.

@MrAndyNgo I've been told by several people that this article had something to do with the creation of an alleged "kill list".

Journalists for HuffPo, Guardian, Daily Beast have been repeating this claim, falsely implying @MrAndyNgo was the author.

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of #Curitiba, southern #Brazil!
This region is famous for being cold and cloudy (yes it can be cold in Brazil!).
It is also famous for its very endemic and beautiful #Araucaria pine trees. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network @500womensci /1
#Actions speak louder than words! I am thankful for my parents for being who they are. Both always showed love for Nature, different interests and #curiosity! So no wonder by observing them I grew up to be a very curious girl who really loved Nature. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network /2
During High School I became fascinated by the #mendelian #genetics classes and the work of #gregormendel! I also loved studying animals, ecosystems and climate so the obvious choice for me in University (@PUCPR_oficial ) was BIOLOGY!! @IWS_Network #womeninscience #voicesIWS /3
