Someday this book on US #COVID19 will be written.
Likely more chapters to come.
This is so damn hard to watch as it continues to unfold.
Updating with Chapter 8.
Thanks to all the responders for their excellent suggestions for added chapters. Clearly, many are right that the Preface should be "How to Disband the U.S. Pandemic Response Team"

March 25 curves from @FT's @jburnmurdoch
1. The US death curve slope even continues its steep course, passing Iran and now headed towards China's
2. The US has overtaken the rest of the world for cases; the absolute total N will soon exceed China and reach 100,000 by week's end
New York's death curve has flattened slightly since yesterday, but it is the worst look of all regions
Compare today's NY death curve (above) vs. yesterday (here)
You can see the flattening today and the doubling time for deaths from nearly 1 day shifted now towards 2. So that's at least one encouraging sign for NY and the US

It's good. But I would have changed the title and expanded.

#COVIDー19 is a respiratory virus. This is why, as a precautionary measure, in the last 72 hours, the Delta State Government has acquired 19 new ventilators and a good number of monitors that will be used by our medical staff in the event of an outbreak.
Yesterday, in a live broadcast, I announced the following precautionary measures that are aimed at protecting our citizens and residents of from the #COVID-19 Virus.

🇮🇹🦠 #COVIDー19, aggiornamento 24/03.

Altra giornata pesante.
Con la letalità apparente fuori scala (9,9%), la stima dei casi attivi plausibili sale parecchio.

Casi attivi ufficiali: 54.030.
Casi attivi plausibili: 526.241.

Siamo lineari.
Non si vede ancora una decelerazione.
🇮🇹🦠 #COVIDー19: aumenta anche l'incertezza intorno alle stime centrali.

I casi attivi plausibili hanno una stima centrale di 530.000, ma oscillano tra un minimo di 340.000 e un massimo di 1.200.000 (sì, avete letto bene).
🇮🇹🦠 IMPORTANTE: la polemica sui numeri forniti dalla @DPCgov è sterile.
MOLTO meglio avere dei dati sicuramente sbagliati, ma che abbiamo un'idea di come correggere, che non avere nulla.

Polemiche di questo tipo, anche in conferenza stampa, sono ingenue e deleterie.

IMPORTANT THREAD.

Part 1

There’s important data coming out of Italy on confirmed cases & deaths due to COVID. This should be treated as an Indicator & Warning by all of us. Please watch & share. (Birds chirping in the background for moral support!)
2. #COVID19 Part 2

Reliable data source:

Coronavirus.jhu.edu
3. #COVIDー19 Part 3

Government policy & guidance needs to rapidly turn into a proactive stance to reassure us, the public, that there is a plan. What happens when, and it will happen, we get zero confirmed no new cases?

What do computer viruses teach us about #COVIDー19? I don't think anything, but in this thread I'm going to try to draw corollaries anyway, because cyber.
"Don't touch your face" is stupid advice, just like "don't open suspicious attachments" or "don't click on suspicious links in emails". Email is designed to have attachments and links, asking people to not use the product as designed is nonsense.
This video went viral (sic) of a health official advising people to not touch their face as she, and the people behind her, touch their faces. People are going to click on email links and touch their faces.
