All of us want to know how bad the pandemic is and whether it's getting better or worse. Many closely-tracked indicators have little meaning and less use. I described some of the most egregious errors, and what we should be paying attention to instead. wapo.st/3dRZ9vT

The #Hydroxychloroquine story has some lessons for all of us: 1. If you are a researcher, don't oversell early results 2. If you are a journalist, don't hype the research 3. If you are a policy maker, don't make hasty decisions 4. If you are the public, listen to scientists

Good news: Being outdoors poses a much lower risk of contracting #COVID19 than being indoors. One of the adjustments we can make in our new normal is spending more time outside. nyti.ms/2ZkzGqQ

A lot of discussion recently about transmission dynamics, most of which are extrapolated from viral loads & estimates. What does contact tracing/community testing data tell us about actual probability of #COVID19 transmission(infection rate), high risk environments/age? [thread]

Important data from @RIVM suggests that "patients under 20 years play a much smaller role in the spread than adults and the elderly." Can't wait to read the scientific report when it becomes available. h/t @marcelsalathe rivm.nl/en/novel-coron…

We will be seeking the cooperation and support of Australians to download the app to help our health workers, to protect our community and help get our economy going again.


Paul Kelly - CBR Reposted

The App we are working on to help our health workers trace people who have been in contact with coronavirus will not be mandatory.

Interesting way to illustrate the social benefits of physical distancing during #COVID19. Together apart for a safer world.


Paul Kelly - CBR Reposted

FOUR thing we must do: 1. Test widely. That means every person in the country with pneumonia, every sick health care worker, every person in nursing homes, all contacts with symptoms (and maybe some without), all patients in clusters that could be #COVID19, and more.
