    Something to consider: If you hate wearing a #mask in public, you’re really not going to like the ventilator in the ICU. #COVID19

    The fact that cruises are departing at this moment shows that the Federal government is not taking #COVID19 seriously enough. #coronavirus #pandemicpreparedness

    Cutting funding on bat-human research is INSANE. This type of research is literally how we know at all that this virus came from bats. And there are a lot more bat coronaviruses out there that have not been studied yet. They could become the Covid-20, Covid-21, Covid-22 and so on

    My @UCLADRC team and I have been working with colleagues at @inrb_kinshasa, @esp_unikin #DRC MoH and many terrific collaborators for 2 decades on human #monkeypox and the impact of waning vaccine induced immunity. See relevant 2010 #PNAS paper.

    Agree with @EricTopol 100%. We need to understand transmission real risk of infection, potential for transmission in household settings and in general. Delta has changed the game- we need to get in front of it instead of constantly chasing behind it.

    On May 1 @CDCgov stopped tracking breakthrough infections unless hospitalized. That was a mistake then, but with the increased risk posed by Delta, it's more serious. Complete tracking needs to be reinstated, w/ demographics, PCR Ct results, samples for neutralizing antibodies...

    A reminder that #COVID19 isn't just about mortality. There is potential for longer term consequences. Recent research suggesting more than half of #coronavirus patients in #Spain have developed neurological problems: english.elpais.com/science_tech/2… via @elpaisinenglish

    The @CDCgov just issued a revised doc emphasizing importance of #ReopeningSchools. Where is the science? Where are the data? Nothing on risks to staff/teachers, guidance on opening in areas of high #COVID transmission. What happens when outbreaks inevitably occur? Grade: D-

    #COVID19 presents unique challenges for returning to school this fall. New guidance is available to help school administrators and parents take steps to protect the health of their families, students, and school staff. Learn more here: bit.ly/39RLWS8

    Up to 25% of people with #COVID19 may not show symptoms. The case for #keepingyourdropletstoyourself is clear. Wearing a face covering /mask in addition to social distancing and hand hygiene will help #FlattenTheCurve.

    Here’s the thing: when it comes to #COVID19 - what happens in Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas. No masks, no social distancing and crowding indoors ... perfect conditions for transmission that could seed outbreaks.

    Reminder that testing #COVID19 negative today does not mean that those exposed to #POTUS/#FLOTUS/Hope Hicks are in the clear. @CDCgov guidelines are to quarantine for 14 days bkz testing is imperfect & infected individuals are most likely to test positive 5-8 days post-exposure.

    The key message: 1) Stay home! 2) Wash your hands frequently 3) don't touch your face 4) And if you cannot stay home because you need groceries or are an essential worker etc-wear a mouth-covering that will help keep your droplets to yourself. #COVID19 #keepyourdropletstoyouself

    Ebola expert @arimoin coined, "Keep your droplets to yourself!" That's a great way to describe every person's responsibility in the #COVID19 #pandemic . That's ALL droplets, from tears to spit to coughed stuff on down. A mask helps, but staying away from others? Even better.

    We can turn a terrible situation into a learning experience that can save lives. Understanding who, how, where, why and when #SARSCoV2 was introduced to #WhiteHouse and track #COVID19 cases via #sequencing can provide critical information to prevent future #superspreading events.

    A new #Ebola outbreak has bren confirmed in northwestern #DRC near the port city of Mbandaka.-same region where the 2018 outbreak occurred. This underscores the importance of @WHO in this critical moment. We need to support #WHO now more than ever.
