2/A small bit of good news
3/Antivaxxers: Still probably the worst people in America.
4/Ride shares still haven't put in plastic barriers?!!
5/Once again: Do not drink bleach, even if you are the kind of person who would be crazy enough to drink bleach
6/The fact that coronavirus can spread from asymptomatic people is the scariest thing about it.
7/Data on how the immune system responds to coronavirus.
8/Where is the U.S. coronavirus epidemic headed from here? If you don't listen to Gottlieb, you really ought to!
9/Excess death estimates for coronavirus. This will include stuff like overloading of hospitals, etc.
10/Some antibody tests are not great.
11/More on keeping antibody tests in perspective.
12/New York's outbreak is (finally) abating, but in states like Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and Virginia, things are getting worse.
13/Can coronavirus mess up your kidneys?
14/To stop coronavirus WE MUST TEST PEOPLE WITHOUT SYMPTOMS.
15/What we need to do to stop coronavirus until treatments and vaccines emerge.
16/Some dodgy doctors from Bakersfield.
17/It would be nice if some off-the-shelf drug helped against coronavirus. Highly unlikely, but it would be nice. Here's another candidate:
18/More on asymptomatic spreaders.
20/Things aren't looking good for interferon therapy for coronavirus, but the jury is still out.
21/We're repeating some of the mistakes we made with the Spanish Flu.
22/If you haven't read this guide to potential coronavirus therapies, check it out.

23/Again: Everyone talks about digital contact tracing, but that's just a flashy experimental thing. Real contact tracing, as it actually exists right now, is just an army of people with clipboards and phones.
24/Do not mess with coronavirus, people. This shit will END you.
25/We need more dang TESTS.
26/Masks work.
27/It wasn't density that doomed NYC to the country's worst coronavirus outbreak (so far). Bad leadership, however, did play a role.
28/We might have just learned something very important about how the body fights off coronavirus.
29/Spain is over the hump.
20/Remember, even with #TestAndTrace, we need to maintain a degree of social distancing til we get treatment/vaccine.
21/"But Sweden's doing fine"
O RLY?
O RLY?
22/People are calling their state governments and asking if it's OK to drink bleach.
33/Yes I messed up the numbering. Whoops!

Anyway, some people are drinking bleach. Wheeeeeeeee
34/Make some toy epidemiological models!
35/The global progress of coronavirus.
36/Unlike America, Canada is succeeding in rapidly suppressing its epidemic.
37/Learn about how contact tracing works, and how technology *might* improve traditional methods.
38/Remember the other day when the WHO said there was no evidence that coronavirus infection conferred immunity?
...Yeah, it took that back.
...Yeah, it took that back.
39/New Zealand is among the ranks of nations with the most effective coronavirus responses.
40/What's going on with Swedish epidemiology?
41/Andy Slavitt's long coronavirus threads are highly informative and good.
42/One of the epidemiologists who eradicated smallpox looks at America in the time of coronavirus and thinks: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
43/History will record the mini-epidemic of bleach-drinking as one of the wackier little episodes of the Great Coronavirus Plague...
44/And that's all for today! Tune in tomorrow for more Coronavirus Tweets from the Experts...
