With the resuming of classes, I am forced to suspend this newsletter indefinitely. Amidst the deluge of #COVID19 stories, I hope I was able to provide at least some clarity. Thanks for following along. Be safe. Sincerely, Wash your damn hands. Stay the fuck home.

What’s the first sentence of the best novel that will be written about this epidemic?

“How long will we hold?” - Doctor #COVID19 #coronavirus
But I've never seen so much sense of purpose. So much honor to do this job. I think of this when I finally get home. Clothes in a bag. Hot shower. Look in the mirror. Indentations of the goggles still deep on my face. Bllisters on the bridge of my nose. How long will we hold?
“Every single person I see has #COVID19 . Every single person.”
The patients I normally see are nowhere to be found. Every single person I see has #COVID19. Every single patient. Working in the ER means walking through a corridor of coughing. All a slightly different pitch & different frequency, but all caused by the exact same thing.
“The last time I worked in a tent was West Africa.” #COVID19 #coronavirus
There are tents outside our hospitals. Every time I see them, I stop, startled. Their drab and dirty flaps seem so out of place against the grand facades of world-class hospitals. Desperate times, desperate measures. The last time I worked in a tent was West Africa.
The new normal. #COVID19 👇🏼
There's really no way to describe what we're seeing. Our new reality is unreal. The people and places we've known so long & so well have been transformed. Our ERs are ICUs. Everything looks, sounds and feels different. Just one week and it's a whole different world. THREAD
In today's (4/2) #COVID19 Daily Update: - White House to begin urging all Americans to cover their faces - Private-sector labs struggling to handle deluge of pending tests (backlog continues) - ~10 million Americans have lost their jobs covid19daily.substack.com/p/covid-19-dai…

One graph tells story of tens of thousands of tragedies & squandered time. Now we must all work together FAST to meet benchmarks to 1. #flattenthecurve & 2. Don't WAIT but WORK to meet benchmarks so we can reopen as soon & safely as possible. Details at: bit.ly/2R3RtgW
Note the stark contrast between @NYGovCuomo and @BilldeBlasio in public health communications. #COVID19
We’re creating new hospitals in some of the most unexpected places. Join the conversation. Use the hashtag #AskMyMayor.
DATA VALIDITY: Why it’s important not to extrapolate based on anecdotal evidence #COVID19
So the 40k figure would be wildly out of step with what we know of the characteristics of this virus. There's a reason for that. The ~40k figure is extrapolated entirely from anecdotal assertions that the city's 7 crematoriums "have been working around the clock."
In fact transmissibility elsewhere has been pretty consistent with China's official figures, as this @ECDC_EU report on Italy finds (R0 2.76 - 3.25). This holds with Seattle as well, which had an initial R0 of 2.7 prior to social distancing. ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/…
