BREAKING: New infrastructure for contract tracing is coming to our phones using Bluetooth.

Strong privacy protections— but I hope EVERYONE opts in for one another. This is time to pull together in new ways.

Thank you to @Apple & @Google

Sometime in May, when apps become available we need to put ourselves in position to do at least 4x the testing we have today. This will make us capable of finding and limiting growth of the virus.
In the meantime, talk of “opening” earlier is not going to get people back to business. It would flood our hospitals. Hiring & spending would still be dormant.

I know this is hard on many but let’s see it through.

COVID Update April 12: Special Sunday thread tonight.

It’s a hashtag started by @PiperPerabo & my mom (@ASlavittsMom). It’s incredible stuff but if you’re looking for news you can skip until I tweet later. 2:

COVID Update April 11: Today I spent on food— not (just) eating it. But what’s going on in the food banks, with food producers & for hungry people.

Got the inside story on testing & contact tracing & a few others. Coming in about 90 minutes. Follow if interested. 1/
Let’s talk about food, hoarding, hunger, food supply, food banks first tonight.

There is plenty of food. Plenty. We need to make sure it gets to the right places. The amount of hunger in major cities is bad and growing.

The outlook for May is uncertain. 2/

-General panic buying of non-perishables
-Closing of many commercial food buyers (restaurants, schools, corporate cafeterias)
-Illness in labor, transportation, packing, warehousing
-Soaring demand at food banks 3/
