My Uncle had been hospitalized for COVID- 19 and intubated in an effort to save his Life. He did not make it. He is not a statistic his name was Uncle Howie. 😔
I couldn't sleep so finally got up to do some meditation and prayer. I am overwhelmed by all of your compassion and kindness to me and my family right now. Thank you for your generosity and support right now. I am grateful for each of you. Thank you.
I don't know if it is truly possible to respond to each one of you individually at this point, but I am going to try. Please be patient with me. 😟❤️🙏
Wow! 💕 I think it’s safe to say at this point, I most likely will not get to individually respond to each of you. I think what’s happening here is a community voice that says our lives mean something to someone & this tweet touched a heart chord. 💕 #YouMatter #YouAreNotAlone 💕

Many of the long standing societal rules were re-written at times of crisis. We are undergoing one of the biggest crisis of our generation. Wonder what rules will be re-written in the post COVID world. Trying to predict few changes in the new world

Thread 1/n
AI and Digital transformation will lead the way in the post Covid world as people will finally wake up to the potential of technology in optimizing their respective businesses.

Education:
The de facto delivery of education will change to online mediums now that the education institutes will start seeing the potential of online education delivery. Low impact in K12, high impact in higher education.

I see a lot of ongoing debate, and some snark, about people pivoting into #COVIDー19 related research, particularly in #psychology. As the PI of a lab working on one of these projects, here is a thread on my thoughts:
First off, I totally get the snark. Academics are like baby ducklings. Someone gets a Nobel Prize or a Nature paper on something, a year later there are 300 new projects on that topic. VSS last year was Deep Learn All the Things. No doubt that we love a good bandwagon.
When I first started seeing psychology papers rolling out, my first reaction was a) mild jealousy at being so incredibly productive at a time when my brain was in complete failure mode and b) mild ire at what seemed, at first, a bit opportunistic.

A thread on Modi govt's #COVID Lockdown package:

1. Its good the govt has finally woken up to financially ameliorate the impacts of an unprecedented and unplanned locked down. But, as always, the govt seems to have made more out of the package than exists. Read on:
2. The doubling of LOANS to Self Help Groups from Rs 10 L to Rs 20 L. The total disbursed amount this year to SHGs under the scheme has been ~ Rs 1,500 crore. Total budget for year was approx Rs 9,000 cr. So dont expect money to suddenly go out and its certainly not budgeted+.
3. Interest is reduced on these loans for sums up to Rs 3 lakh only. Else SHGs pay standard bank interest rates. This year offtake has been miserable (read: govt indirectly squeezed it out due to revenue shortfall)

Putting my sociologist hat on. For those who are tired of the science, the numbers, and the really big words; I wanna explain this in layman's term.

The problem is not so much the virus, the problem is US (double entendre)
The U.S. has a completely different cultural system than China. We are not as community-focused, family oriented, or obedient. We're not discussing if that's good or bad, only talking about WHAT IS.

What we lack in those 3 areas directly contributes to the spread of #COVIDー19
Americans don't know HOW to self-quarantine because those 3 factors are not top of mind. We don't inherently think about our neighbors. A lot of us don't even know their names.

We're not thinking about elders b/c we weren't taught that taking care of them was OUR responsibility.

I keep seeing this article go around. It's the height of silliness, spending more effort on political attacks against "preppers" than discussion what you should do to prepare.
blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/p…
There's a good chance we'll end up like Wuhan with most of the population stuck at home for weeks, even a couple of months. So do the obvious thing and stock up on some canned food and medical supplies you can't do without, and read: ready.gov/kit
That's the practical persons guide to preparing. The SciAm op-ed was the "Young Comrades Guide to Socially Responsible Preparedness", the same suggestions, but colored by politics.

#life THREAD. On Subtraction.

1/ It’s simple to note: One has to subtract before adding. Give up what’s bad, before thinking about adding what’s good. True for habits, food, news and everything else.
#life 2/ We live in a world with many apparent "signals”.

We’re consuming:
- More info/news/entertainment
- More food
- More social networking
- More things to-do/work...

…than prior generations. It’s making us lazy and critically, disengaged.
#life 3/ It’s unclear what the signal to noise ratio is - it’s a function of one’s own consumption habits.

And separately, we’re prone to setting additional goals too:
- Read good books
- Eat a healthy diet
- Have fewer but better friends
- Work smart

etc.
