Both he and his wife survived #COVID19.
Then the bills came. You won't believe what it costs to "survive" in America.https://t.co/P9cgDepf3k
Is it the dose, stupid?

Exploring the features of aerosol transmission of #SARSCoV2https://t.co/sp3Oe60IOJ by @apoorva_nyc
"Three factors seem to be particularly important for aerosol transmission: proximity to the infected person, air flow and timing"
Camden, over the past 5 yrs, has invested heavily in de-escalation training and adopted a use-of-force policy that's been called the most progressive in the U.S., one that stresses that force should only be used as a last resort. This is one result of that. https://t.co/kFn4DjwcQG

Angry commenters are trying to “gotcha” me on this tweet so let me be clear:

Yes, I condemned the anti-lockdown protests. Yes, I support the #BlackLivesMatter protests. No, those aren’t contradictory views. COVID is a public health emergency. So is racism. We need to fight both. https://t.co/ilZHpcS5Te
Today I wanted to share a preprint describing our labs work on #SARSCoV2 antibodies, work that I’ve spent many long days and nights to get done the last three weeks, but the joy I should have in sharing my work is gone, it’s been sucked out of me, given what’s going on...

My favorite academic twitter drama: a well-known member of the #epitwitter community went on a mass blocking spree bc they essentially said their dog rescue was an alternative to doing anything about racism and people pushed back.

Very nice study showing that PCR-positivity is not infectivity and that from samples with a CT>24 or more than 8 days post symptom onset no virus could be cultured on Vero cells. https://t.co/1TEbXX4xrL

For all the protestors, pepper spray is oil based. If you get sprayed DO NOT rub your eyes. Immediately blink as much as you can to wash out some of the oil with your own tears. Then, wash your eyes with baby shampoo and rinse copiously with water. Be safe.

Early detection is a technical challenge. Early action is not. We knew the virus was coming since January. https://t.co/7WXuXXDeG5

Remarkable info coming out of this presser: Gov. Tim Walls, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter and now MN attorney general Keith Ellison ALL alleging outside forces, domestic and possibly foreign, have post-Tuesday infiltrated the state, and are

As an epidemiologist, I’m well aware that the #MinneapolisUprising (in no small part due to police use of pepper spray) will increase #COVID19 risk. But #policebrutality has been a #publichealth problem for much longer than the #pandemic has, and this is a necessary action.

Once I realised the data in That #LancetGate study was probably fabricated I couldn't do anything else and had to write a blog post about it. Not only is Surgisphere far too small to have software in 671 hospitals, their claimed awards are dodgy: https://t.co/Ro8vEvpZqc
