Other measures are needed and more important. But the correlation is striking. It's like masks vs no masks but for BCG vaccine instead. pic.twitter.com/GbkFiGPPNb
When I prepared the code for this analysis and chart yesterday, I was expecting to see a spike in estimated gun sales in response to uncertainty around #COVID19. But this is something else ...https://t.co/ehLAmxufIG pic.twitter.com/WwbLEPyk52

Yet another way in which self-protection from #covid19 is a function of privilege. https://t.co/NQ3Zvmsx94
The horrible truth is that a govt that has glorified incompetence, filling the highest offices of the land with the likes of Johnson, Raab, Gove & Grayling, is unlikely to suddenly become competent. But, if it would just stop lying to us, that would be a step in right direction.

Former FDA @ScottGottliebMD asks to hire & train 1000s of new workers to bolster CONTACT TRACING to stop #coronavirus spread. We can't ease social distancing w/out it. After enough deaths & economic destruction, the gov't will learn public health 101. https://t.co/z26noqygrY

I'm sorry, folks, may I scream for a moment? I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THAT ER STAFF AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL IN NYC HAD TO DO A GOFUNDME TO GET N95 RESPIRATORS. AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TESTS. The Trump adminstration are straight-up mass murderers. https://t.co/mPr04YHWXV

UPDATE to @stephaniemlee & @dvergano's story about how the gov't is only sending states enough Abbott 5-min testing devices to test up to 5,500 people:

Our planet under a pandemic: less seismic activity from the rumble of daily life, cleaner air, profoundly quieter cities and oceans, too https://t.co/8Aqbar9icp

There is no magic money tree. Austerity is unavoidable. We can't write off NHS "debt". Homelessness is too complex a problem to solve. We can't give nurses a pay rise...

One by one the lies told us have been exposed.
If there's one thing you remember afterwards, remember this.
Ok, Twitter, you asked for it, I promised it, and here it is: 4200 words on #Masks. Should everyone wear masks? The simple answer is there is no simple answer, but we're getting there. #Masks4All #coronavirus #COVID19 https://t.co/DRp0Xx3Yvf

Most of the world isn't allowed to leave their homes and the Wisconsin GOP still wanted hundreds of thousands of people to stand in line for hours and then mash the same buttons so they could keep power.

We're all incredulous and I am not sure we are incredulous enough.

The next time someone tells you they have an amazing immune system and could never be felled by #COVID19, send them this article. In a 'cytokine storm' it's an overreactive immune system that betrays us: https://t.co/uuznJeCWGN

Terrible news out of #Ecuador. “They said the pandemic wouldn’t hit Latin America so hard because we’re used to illnesses, because it’s hot, because the population is young, etc, etc...Look at what’s happening." ht @gyude_moore #COVID19 #coronavirus https://t.co/ddYsP9qRlq
