🙏Reassuring data: So far, no evidence of protest COVID spike in Minneapolis, where protest originated.

Overall positivity rate for Minnesota: 3.6% to 3.7%.

Of 4,487 tests across 4 sites specifically for protesters: positivity rate of 1.4%!

➡️ Whew.

2) “Another health system in Minnesota, HealthPartners, tested 8,500 protesters in several of their clinics and had a positivity rate of 0.99%, Doug Schultz, public information officer for the Minnesota Department of Health, told MedPage Today last week”
3) Consistent findings also in MA. 2.5% positivity statewide. And identical 2.5% positivity among protesters. This is reassuring we have additional data points now. bostonglobe.com/2020/06/23/nat…

Hey folks - small confession - I hate social media algorithms. They promote only the most sensational. And that isn’t best.

➡️ So, I’m now giving out my special direct phone number for folks to SMS text me questions & to send out special updates: +1 (703) 552-5771.

Thread🧵
2) First, no, I haven’t been hacked. I already gave out this number last week on a podcast w/ @funder. And yes it is a direct number that I can see your text messages & reply to you individually. I’m giving it out because I can communicate more directly w/out Twitter algorithms.
3) And there are often topics not relevant for all public audiences. Hence when you text me at +1 (703) 552-5771, please say hi, a little about yourself + keyword(s): COVID, politics, Europe, LATAM, Virginia, nutrition, health, tech, globalhealth, airlinemiles, *misinformation*

🧪3 months later: same damn problems. People seeking drive-up coronavirus tests in Phoenix faced a 3-mile-long car line. The phone line for testing at a large site now opens at 7 a.m. By 7:07 a.m., all 1,000 appointments for the day are taken. #COVID19 nytimes.com/2020/06/25/ups…
2) “Inadequate testing capacity has hampered the American coronavirus response since the start of the pandemic. When the federal government distributed faulty test kits in February, states were unable to monitor the disease’s early spread.”
3) “Since then, no national testing strategy has emerged. Local govt and health providers largely decide where to offer testing. And bottlenecks today are strikingly similar to those in the pandemic’s early weeks: labs unable to obtain the machines they need to run more tests”
