This is E 180th St. station in the Bronx. This is what it’s like to NOT have the privilege of working from home. Social distancing is a privilege that many don’t have. #COVID19 #NYC
When Trump et al talk about “Reopening America” remember that America HAS been open because so many did not have the privilege to work from home. The “economy” Trump wants to “save” was never for them
Who HAS been keeping America open: it is always about race, class & gender:

Among the US workforce, just 16.2% of Latinx workers and 19.7% of Black Americans are able to work from home, while about 30% of whites and 37% of Asian-Americans can. #COVID19

Across the U.S., about 2.5 million farmworkers, most of whom are Latinx, work on American farms.

“...the value of the agricultural labor force, which has long lived in the shadows, is becoming much clearer to Americans than it’s ever been.” #COVID19 google.com/amp/s/civileat…
“Advocates say it’s the conditions outside of work that place farmworkers in most danger. Many workers carpool to work—with 4 to 6 workers sharing a single car—or are bused to work on packed buses. And their crowded living conditions pose perhaps the biggest challenge.” #COVID19
“A growing number of foreign guest workers, most hailing from #Mexico, are brought to the U.S. every year under the H-2A visa program...the State Department last week decided to suspend visa processing at the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Mexico...” #COVID19

“Because [farmworkers are] nervous about the idea of the shelter-in-place orders, what’s going to happen to them? They live paycheck to paycheck...If our ag workers don’t keep working, we’re not going to have fruits and veggies in the markets” kqed.org/news/11808267/… #COVID19
Fresno City Council President Miguel Arias said he’s worried about undocumented farmworkers:

“My biggest concern with the undocumented residents is that they’re going to be scared to come in and be checked and ask for a test, even though we know that they’re sick”

#COVID19
“They’re so used to going to work, irrespective of their health conditions or whether they’re under the weather and running a fever, that once they begin to use our health care system for the coronavirus, our health care system will be overwhelmed.” #COVID19

As@desperation mounts over #COVID19, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which controls the largest immigration detention system in the world, is refusing to release detainees.

There are more than 38,000 detainees currently in ICE custody. cbsnews.com/news/coronavir…
Three unaccompanied migrant children in #ICE detention have tested positive for #COVID19

"We are very scared...We know we can die inside here. The situation does not bode well for us. We don't have a way to protect ourselves."

Lawyers believe their clients are sitting ducks in crowded detention centers long plagued by reports of poor hygiene & subpar medical care.

#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.

Hi, this is @kevinpatterson. I’m a critical care doctor; I work in an ICU on Vancouver Island, and in the Arctic on the west coast of Hudson Bay. I’ve been thinking a lot about the history of pandemics lately, for all the obvious reasons—and also, about February 15. 1/11
Only six weeks ago, in the last days of January, Wuhan, China was seeing thousands of new cases a day. The hospitals were overwhelmed, and 14% of nurses became infected. It got pretty Dantean. 2/11
On January 23, China imposed draconian public health measures to try and halt the spread. At that point, there had been 517 #COVIDー19 cases in Wuhan, and 17 deaths—on both counts, fewer than America has right now. 3/11

How can #Nephrology prepare for the unavoidable spread of #COVID? How can continue caring for our patients, with as little disruption of business continuity in a matter that does not increase risk for our patients, staff & ourselves?
This is ours (@UNMHSC) plan (long read)
First some background about our group: we direct 13 outpatient dialysis clinics *all over a very large state* (~700 pts, 15% on home dialysis), cover two hospitals (including the only Level 1 trauma center in NM), numerous CKD clinics, run a small transplant program, while also
teaching and doing research (both inside the division & in the 2 division sponsored research institutes). We number in the 30s, a figure that includes faculty/staff/fellows. Therefore a #COVID19 management plan has to cover the diverse roles & the diverse missions of our group

Et si on faisait 1 synthèse de la situation de #Trump après 1 semaine d'enquête en #impeachment et de révélations folles. Dernière en date, selon le @nytimes: 1 2nd agent du renseignement confirme sur l'#Ukraine et pourrait lui aussi lancer 1 alerte. nytimes.com/2019/10/04/us/…
@nytimes 2) La 1ère chose à dire est que #Trump, pour la 1ère fois peut-être dans sa carrière politique, n'est pas parvenu à "arrêter le saignement" (comme on dit aux #EtatsUnis) provoqué par le lancement d'alerte sur l'#Ukraine puis l'ouverture des vannes de l'enquête en #impeachment...
@nytimes 3)… il y a depuis 10 jours une cascade ininterrompue de faits révélés par le début de l'enquête en #impeachment de la Chambre et des infos de la presse qui accablent #Trump au point d'avoir fait bouger l'opinion. Substantiellement.

Bon aller je ne me suis pas encore présenté sur #thésolie et je crois bien être une des dernières a ne pas l'avoir fait donc c'est partie. Je suis une thèse en bioinformatique, non la bioinformatique c'est pas faire de l'informatique avec de la biologie c'est l'inverse !
On peut résumer sa: a l'ensemble des outils mathématiques, statistiques et informatiques pour la biologie. Vous pouvez lire cette page bioinfo-fr.net/aux-origines-d… ou celle-ci fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-infor… pour plus d'information !
C'est un domaine très large mais je vais parler que du miens l'assemblage des génomes. Et non désoler c'est pas mélanger des bouts de génome comme dans jurasic park . #gifAvecLiensTénu

This is the type of absolute denial of facts and reality occupying the #MAGA crown. There is no where in America, not one state, where the average gas price is not higher, generally by between 40-50 cents, according to the AAA, not known for faking basic data for partisanship.
The link to where you can see this for yourself is provided. I just looked at all fifty states. No state has longer cost gas today than a year ago. And for this particular statement to be true, the cost would actually need to be approx $1.30-$1.50 cheaper than current averages.
For many places, that would mean it being down by almost 50% or more from the average price. Wherever this half of gas sale is, I’d love to know. So there are two options here: this person lives in the one place in America where gas prices are at $1.75 or so, or they are wrong.
