2/In which @ASlavitt explains why we need 180,000 contact tracers nationwide:

3/Similar viral loads between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients? Interesting!
4/12 to 14 million Americans are estimated to have been infected with coronavirus.
This is what a massive public health failure looks like.

5/New studies suggest that Remdesivir helps a little bit.
6/How coronavirus spreads from kids to adults:
7/New coronavirus site from Johns Hopkins:
8/"Reinfections" are probably just false positives + people who never actually cleared the virus.
9/This isn't the last pandemic. It might not even be the last wave of this virus. Will we be prepared the next time?
10/Letting coronavirus rampage through society = 80 flu seasons
11/I was also tricked by this trick of perspective. People who are socially distancing can look close together in a zoom lens.
12/Don't get toooooo excited about Remdesivir.
13/Once again, contact tracing is mostly about HIRING LOTS OF PEOPLE TO DO MANUAL CONTACT TRACING, not about fancy Bluetooth apps
14/Coronavirus has now killed more than 0.2% of New York City (despite lockdown!).
Anyone else still want to claim this thing has a 0.1% or 0.02% mortality rate or whatever??
Didn't think so.

Didn't think so.
15/Yet another example of poor U.S. leadership in this pandemic.
16/Saliva-based coronavirus tests will improve our testing situation.
17/No, we're not anywhere near herd immunity.
18/Some more skepticism about that positive result for Remdesivir.
19/It's still not clear that U.S. deaths have peaked.
20/What a good pandemic response (i.e., not the U.S. response) looks like:
21/Another study on "airborne" transmission of coronavirus.
Upshot: Indoors is dangerous. Ventilate well.

22/Some forecasts of coronavirus deaths in the U.S.
23/How will the pandemic end?
25/SF continues to do well at containing coronavirus.
26/More weirdness at the CDC.
27/Given that it's the Trump administration doing this, my hopes are less than high.
28/Once again: Please do not drink bleach
29/What do other coronaviruses tell us about this one?
30/The latest research on the immunology of the coronavirus.
31/Criticism of the IHME team:
32/Viral load of coronavirus cases doesn't seem to depend on age.
33/Another reason you should take the new Remdesivir studies with a grain of salt.
34/Some infographics of coronavirus vaccine efforts. Posted this yesterday, but worth posting again.
35/The idea that coronavirus is a super-infectious disease and that most people are already immune continues to NOT be supported by data.
36/This is why I bought my dad a snorkeling mask when this all started.
37/The Slavitt/Gottlieb plan really is the best plan.
Let's do all we can to help promote it.
Let's do all we can to help promote it.
38/For those hoping summer heat will stop the virus...
39/Data on the antibody response to coronavirus.
40/Learn how contact tracing really works!
41/Central quarantine is probably better than home isolation. But can America actually do it??
42/And that's all for today, folks! Tune in tomorrow for more Coronavirus Tweets from the Experts!
