I assumed stress-reading the news is emotionally unhealthy. But research from the SARS epidemic found that it made people feel better. At a time when we feel terribly helpless, it gives us a sense of autonomy. And command of the facts helps us overcome feelings of lost control. — PolitiTweet.org

Not accounting for training costs, the study estimates this would cost $3.6B per year. The Trump admin’s bailout package for airlines, valued at $25B, could fund this for 7 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Life would be easier if we could imitate a country whose politics we like, and whose data is flawless. But no such country has confronted a USA-scale outbreak, contained it within one region, and possibly turned it back. https://t.co/etgAAmr0qk — PolitiTweet.org

This is true. So it's unfortunate, given how consistently right he has been, that people are still refusing to even acknowledge McNeil's equally consistent warning: "if we’re going to get a grip on our epidemic, we have to imitate China, because we’ve got China-like spread." — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that these measures were first used in China, and were widely condemned in the US, has made them taboo here. It's led to a weird situation where everyone calls for contact tracing but either conceals or doesn't know what that actually means in practice. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

There's a misconception in the US that "contact tracing" means gathering info on who's tested positive. In the countries where it's succeeded, that info is a means to an end: 14-day forced quarantine. If you live with others, possibly in a govt facility. https://t.co/2XxwKnyoW6 — PolitiTweet.org

@Sarahc_k @dlknowles Daniel, I am begging you, I have close friends and family in London who I am worried for. Please stop telling people that this level of congregating in parks is safe. It is not. Please. This is dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Out for a walk when someone started blasting La Marseillaise down a completely empty Madison Avenue at exactly 6pm. This is 15 blocks from Times Square at rush hour. Found the speaker, taped with a piece of paper that said it was in solidarity with the city’s health care workers. https://t.co/uoaNDfgE6l — PolitiTweet.org

Would just add to this excellent advice to be careful of cyclists if you walk in the street. We’re straining to maintain distance from one another too and I’ve had lots of well-meaning pedestrians nearly plow into me. — PolitiTweet.org

100,000 deaths would be many orders of magnitude worse than any other country hit by covid-19 so far. Countries with less warning, fewer resources, and less healthy populations have per capita tolls a fraction of that. — PolitiTweet.org
