About to participate in a convo on race and COVID with @abc7kristensze and a great group of fellow panelists @tzima8 @Evan_Low @ZahraBilloo and others!

Hooray for Zoom’s virtual background feature
Literally the first question they asked me was about this. And I responded the way I tweeted. Telling Asians we need to work harder to prove we’re American is a dangerous proposal. Also, no, MLK would NOT agree with Andrew’s point.

Remember that @BuzzFeedNews article on how Bernie’s campaign crumbled by @rubycramer that hardcore Sanders supporters mocked and dismissed as an unsourced hoax? @alexburnsNYT just published a story that rereports and underscores key elements of that piece.
nytimes.com/2020/03/21/us/…
Bernie adamantly refused to directly criticize Joe Biden because he and the only advisor he regularly listened to, his wife Jane, personally like him. They even punished surrogates who went hard at him—something they notably failed to do when surrogates attacked Elizabeth Warren.
Sanders actually resisted reaching out to AOC for the endorsement that saved his campaign—assuming he was essentially entitled to it.

While Warren pushed hard for Ocasio’s support, AOC’s team had to prod Sanders even to call her. Imagine if AOC had given the nod to Warren.

I’ve read a bunch of notes on coronavirus from clinicians sharing observed data as well as from attendees at the (quite bleak) UCSF panel on coronavirus. A few key takeaways:

1. If you’re exposed to COVID, you’re likely to see symptoms in about 2-9 days, with median of 5 days.
2. The common symptoms are acute respiratory distress and fever, often high, which may be intermittent but can be persistent and last over 10 days.
3. Breakdown of cases: About 80% of those who contract COVID only get mildly ill; 14% get hospital-ill, 6-8% critically ill. The mortality rate seems to be between 1-3%, but that needs to be adjusted for age. Mortality is 10-15% over 80, and drops lower for younger cohorts.

Buried in the article: Out of 3000 passengers, only 46 were tested.

*Of them*, 21 were positive for coronavirus. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
We are undoubtedly fucking this pandemic thing up, thanks Pencey

Also cruises are floating Petri dishes for viral incubation and it’s time to ground them until this crisis is over
Hey, congrats to those who clicked through to the article; most people don’t!

My point in saying “buried in the article” (eg not in the tweet and hed) is that casual scanners will miss the outrageous fact that only 46 of 3000+ were tested, with *nearly 50% infected*

#coronavirus: Lung damage in coronavirus patient who had ‘no symptoms’ just a few days earlier

A 360 scan of the lungs of a coronavirus patient who had reported no symptoms shows extensive damage to their lungs wrought by the disease
news.com.au/lifestyle/heal…
In the scans, the yellow areas, which highlight the infected and inflamed regions, cover both of the lungs.

The patient, who remains in critical condition in the ICU, has required a ventilator on the highest setting to breathe.
Dr Mortman said it’s not known whether the man will fully recover, since for some patients, the damage has so far been irreversible.

“I want people to see this and understand what this can do,” Dr Mortman said. “People need to take this seriously.”

#Chinese doctors say autopsies of victims suggest that #ChinaCoronaVirus is “like a combination of #SARS & #AIDS

It damages both the lungs & immune systems” & can cause “irreversible” lung damage even if the patient survives
news.com.au/lifestyle/heal…
The grim finding was reported on by Communist Party mouthpiece the Global Times on Friday, after a paper by Wuhan doctors published in the Journal of Forensic Medicine earlier in the week went viral on Chinese social media.
“The influence of COVID-19 on the human body is like a combination of SARS and AIDS as it damages both the lungs and immune systems,” Peng Zhiyong, director of the intensive care unit of the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University in Wuhan, told the Global Times.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
