One in five patients require hospitalization according to @WHO who.int/indonesia/news…; UK NHS says one-half of those will require ongoing medical care, inpatient rehab, permanently require care from lung scarring, stroke, embolism, neurologic injury.

Statements from POTUS, advisors, task force, indicate their strategy up to the election: 1) minimize public health impact of #COVID19, 2) obfuscate its devastation in low-income areas, 3) deflect blame CCP @WHO even scientists

Will do my best to show data, refute misinformation

1/5: Talking points early this week of July 6-11:
2/5: Waiting for Monday numbers but I believe they may confirm we're in a dire public health crisis and spiral downward
3/5: I think the numbers will show particular devastation among LatinX and Native American families in low-income communities, also African American populations, confirm we're failing to protect our most vulnerable

Thread 1/6: I agree with Dr. Schuchat that our #COVID19 epidemic in America is spiraling out of control... axios.com/cdc-coronaviru…
Thread 2/6: This next phase is looking worse than the first one, with most of the rise in the American South, especially metro areas: LA, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin. These are not "hot spots" "embers". Deaths will follow in a few weeks + permanent injuries
Thread 3/6: Hard to glean specific info from White House CoV Task Force or Hill briefings, but it looks as though the strategy has been to allow states to take the lead and USG provides back up through PPE supplies, FEMA issues, advice from CDC. This is not working.

Listening @CNNSotu this AM: 1. Positivity rates are going up in the American SW metro areas (Left). 2. Deaths lag behind cases (Right - deaths in blue). 3. We have no national plan.
My take @CNNSotu @jaketapper
1. There will be no federal plan.
2. Let it rip, let the states deal with it.
3. We'll help with PPE FEMA issues.
4. NO national road map to track, to model, to design a national intervention strategy.
5. Cases will climb, deaths to follow
Claiming "it's just the young people" = a deflection. Reality: Community transmission will become widespread across our major metro areas: LA Phoenix Austin SanAntonio Dallas Houston. All ages will be affected, esp in low-income neighborhoods where social distancing impossible.
