Amazing infographic and explainer by the @Reuters graphics team, showing how one person in Korea who didn’t listen to her doctors (but went to brunch! and a megachurch!) exposed more than 1,000 people to #COVID19 https://t.co/zhAIhkasrD

Tonight administration announced they are allowing high complexity U.S. labs to advance their own tests for #Coronavirus. Coupled with public health labs, which will be at full tilt by Friday using revised CDC test, capacity could reach 10,000+++ tests a day in next two weeks.

Today’s been a long day. I hope this is my last update for the day: Community spread cases in the Bay Area of California, Oregon & Washington State. If there are 4, there are more. https://t.co/5WaLZ0IMUa

Another good piece from @juliaoftoronto. “A disease can spread widely, & become a pandemic, without being particularly severe. No one knows yet what a #COVID19 pandemic would look like — mostly b/c we don’t yet know precisely how lethal this disease is.” https://t.co/xtygZWATaK

It is not just CFR and length. It is also astonishingly high hospitalization rate … 16% of patients need hospital bed, 4% need ICU. Currently, in Italy, 9% of all infected are in ICU. Any health system breaks if this spreads unchecked. And God know what becomes of CFR then.

It feels gross to joke about the situation here, but what’s our alternative?
