1/ Twitter, help me find the new independent investigator for Elijah McClain's death. I said I wasn't going to watch the video but here I am...in tears over the police arrest and subsequent medical (cardiac) arrest of Elijah McClain, both of which can be seen in the video. 2/ I've been an ER doctor for 11 yrs. I've cared for >50,000 people with occ malpractice consulting. So here is a free consult based on the body cam info ONLY. I don't care what the media or paramedics document. Elijah McClain's heart stopped at the scene, not during transport.

@US_FDA: "Again, there is no evidence of food packaging being associated with the transmission of COVID-19. However, if you wish, you can wipe down product packaging and allow it to air dry, as an extra precaution."

Wrong message. (A thread) (2/6) This is one of the problems with using academic language in a public facing way. We will NEVER design the life-risking study to provide causal "evidence" that a carrier of the virus handles a package >> virus falls on surface >> contaminates person and makes humans sick.
