9/And yet more about the race to develop a vaccine.
10/Apparently, scientists and intelligence agencies disagree on where this virus came from.
11/Is Sweden's coronavirus death rate declining?

This is a lesson.

13/More debate about Remdesivir.
14/On the uncertainties of forecast modeling.

17/A thread about contact tracing in Taiwan. Very important for designing our own #TestAndTrace systems.
18/Why are meatpacking plants getting so much coronavirus?
19/Next time someone tells you that other countries are struggling with coronavirus just as much as we are, read them this list of countries that have done much, much better.
