(UPDATE) The @Worldometers coronavirus data for the US yesterday was wrong. Apparently nearly all the data from New York was missing. It looks to be wonky again today. Hopefully this'll get fixed ASAP. Until then, the messy, confusing, non-user-friendly JHU interface can be used.
(DATA) Here's a comparison of the @Worldometers and Johns Hopkins University (JHU) data from yesterday with respect to daily U.S. coronavirus deaths:
(NOTE) I know many use the JHU interface, but there's simply no comparison between the usability of @Worldometers and JHU—not only does the former capture more cases, it's 100% easier to navigate. JHU is a mess by comparison. So here's hoping Worldometers gets back on track ASAP.

Six days ago, there were 13,355 new coronavirus cases daily in the United States.

Just today, we'll be pushing 23,000 or 24,000 new cases.

I think Dr. Fauci needs to be clear(er) that avoiding doubling new cases every 24 hours is an *infinite* distance from a "flattening out."
PS/ While I understand Dr. Fauci is looking the last 96 hours—when we've gone from 19,452 news cases/daily to 23,000 or so—I think the focus on New York City appears to be blinding the administration to the growing crises in 25-30 other cities, whose numbers are far from peaking.
PS2/ Louisiana had 485 new cases yesterday; it has 1,212 new cases today—that's way more than double in 24 hours. Florida is at 1,037 today—up 33%+ from yesterday (754). New York: 6,646 yesterday, 8,470 today (up 25% in 24 hours). Georgia: 785 now, 349 yesterday—well over double.

Thanks to @ChrisCuomo for this.

Honestly I like both these brothers—and liked their dad, too. He came to Harvard Law to give a speech to the 1Ls and it was a big day for me, as I'd admired his oratory/values for years. I'm glad Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo has his eye firmly on the ball.
1/ This interview puts me in mind of something else. In 2016, I supported Sanders in the primary and endorsed Clinton in an article I published the day she spoke at the DNC. In that article I wrote about how it took me some time to "get" what her candidacy meant to so many.
2/ I'd wanted to vote for a woman for president in '16, but was so aligned with Sanders in some personal as well as political-vision ways I preferred him and was so focused on that that it took until the DNC for me to see things I should've understood earlier about Clinton's run.

MEDIA: You must clarify that while NYC is forecasting a peak in NEW DAILY CASES IN NEW YORK CITY in 2 weeks, the peak in terms of TOTAL NEW DAILY CASES IN AMERICA isn't projected to be April 12, as NYC is just the "canary in the coal mine" for major outbreaks in 25+ other cities.
PS/ If we were under a NATIONWIDE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER, that'd be different—states would be on a similar transmission schedule and the country would peak together. But that is not what's happening, and even places under stay-at-home orders are seeing insufficient social distancing.
PS2/ It's about to be April, and many cities are *just now* seeing a sudden, startling rise in cases (Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, DC, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Miami, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and others). April 12 is *not* a *national* peak.

Hospitals and laboratories often use UV light to kill microbes, but the practice has 1 major drawback: It can harm humans. So UV lights only do their killing in places such as empty operating rooms and under unoccupied lab hoods. Now, researchers have discovered that people might

NEW: The death toll from #CoronaVirus in the U.S. is now 1,031 with 68,572 confirmed cases. In New York City alone, 81 deaths were recorded in 24 hrs, bringing the death toll in the city to 280. The U.S. is on track to lead the world within hours. #COVID19
Unbelievable.
I should clarify the U.S. is on track to lead the world in confirmed #Covid19 cases within hours or days. The U.S. growth trajectory is showing only limited signs of leveling off.

@Veronicaromm
Update: My father’s best friend 84 has been hospitalized at Lutheran in Brooklyn for 3 days. Today he tested positive for #coronavirus. They are releasing him from the hospital. He isn’t being offered a ventilator. He’s being told to go home. They don’t have a ventilator for him
They frankly told him that once he needed it it would not go to him anyway. He understands what they are saying. He must isolate and I guess die alone? This confounds me. Yes palliative meds given. I have made sure everything I am reporting is confirmed by family.
Logistically trying to figure out how to get him home. Need a “dirty ambulance “ but they don’t know when it will be available. It’s more surreal by the moment.

⚠️ THREAD: President @realDonaldTrump took decisive action from the beginning to protect Americans from the Chinese coronavirus.

While Democrats & the media were obsessed with impeachment, President Trump was focused on Americans' health.

Check out the timeline:
January 6: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a travel notice for Wuhan, China due to the spreading coronavirus
January 7: The CDC established a coronavirus incident management system to better share and respond to information about the virus

New #Coronavirus thread. Tagging someone in this tweet makes me paranoid I ruined it.

The old thread is here though
Here's what the #Coronavirus hospital looks like, 4 days of construction later. They're working as fast as they can but is it too late, regardless?
