This is good news from Gilead Sciences. Hopefully remdesivir will be shown to have efficacy in treating #COVID19. There are multiple different trials using this drug. #wednesdaymorning hope — PolitiTweet.org

@balihai2 @Wanderer19 Incorrect would also be an appropriate word. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@zach_baylor I’m hoping for less. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Gary_An If that was the case, we might as well just look at the data as it comes in. Instead, this model makes projections. And 60k by Aug 4 was way off. It will be over 60k deaths tomorrow. And the revised number of 73k is also way off. We will exceed 73k deaths before end of May. — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly two months ago, I gave @SecPompeo 6 opportunities during a congressional hearing to say coronavirus was not the hoax of the day. He refused 6 times. https://t.co/3kiwPLbnkL — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@profkeithdevlin Here is link to 60k number. And the fact they pick August 4 is just stupid. Zero evidence people stop dying by Aug 4. https://t.co/JaDn4bbrVG — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@rkroeter Look up case fatality rate in the US. I was right and he was wrong. Look up number of deaths in US. My tweet yesterday was accurate. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@profkeithdevlin Model said 60k deaths by Aug 4. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@BidenSniff @TuckerCarlson Thank you for reading my tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@balihai2 @Wanderer19 No way US will have less than 73,000 deaths by Covid-19. We will exceed 60k before May. By the time December rolls around, that’s going to be a big number. So yes, the model is stupid. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

I’m not an epidemiologist, but I’ve seen enough: the University of Washington model is stupid. Zero evidence Americans will stop dying of #COVID19 by Aug. No evidence virus magically disappears by Aug. And model already got 60k deaths by Aug wrong before it was revised upwards. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: You lie. We’ve tested less than 1.8% of our population. In terms of testing per capita, which is the relevant statistic, we are behind: Spain, Italy, Germany, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, Israel, Austria, Singapore, Qatar, Denmark ... — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @VP Pence: The virus has incubation period of up to 14 days. Do you get tested every day? If you tested negative 3 days ago it doesn’t mean you couldn’t shed the virus today. Also, these tests are not perfect. I have asked repeatedly & @CDCgov refuses to disclose error rate. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @VP Mike Pence: The mask is not to protect you, it’s to protect the patients at the Mayo Clinic. You had no right to violate hospital policy and put others at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@marymightbe @SpiroAgnewGhost @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @GregAbbott_TX @GovKemp Did you miss the bipartisan law we passed last week to help businesses and hospitals, and to increase testing? Or the 3 bipartisan laws we passed last month to address this pandemic? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Texas does not meet the standards set by @realDonaldTrump for phase 1 reopening. TX had more cases yesterday than 1 week ago. Bizarre that @POTUS praises @GregAbbott_TX while throwing @GovKemp under the bus. It’s this inconsistent messaging that makes Americans not trust Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Today is Tuesday. That means @realDonaldTrump is misleading us, again. Of the top five countries with the highest cases of #COVIDー19, the US is second last in testing per capita. Dr. Fauci said we should double testing. Do you believe Dr. Fauci or @POTUS? #TuesdayThoughts — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

My letter to ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ requesting that he not force 1,000 West Point cadets from around the country to risk their health & lives to travel to an in-person graduation in NY. ⁦His action also violates current federal guidance to stop #COVID19. https://t.co/r6ur7HZFBp — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

So true! — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@RichardGrenell @DonaldJTrumpJr It would be a dereliction of duty on the part of our incredible intelligence agencies if this were not true. You would expect our intelligence agencies to be on top of this. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@Barbw6kids @realDonaldTrump Thank you. Also pretty ridiculous for IMHE to say this all stops on August 4 right? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

The family members of the over 56,000 Americans who died from #COVID19 in less than two months would disagree with @TuckerCarlson. And the current case fatality rate in the US is over 5.6%. Simply unacceptable that @FoxNews keeps ignoring science and downplaying the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Leading from behind is not going to get us out of this crisis. Congress has given a lot of money for testing. We now need Executive Branch leadership to take the actions necessary to dramatically ramp up testing. You are the President. Act like it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

More magical thinking by @realDonaldTrump. No evidence #COVID19 disappears by Aug 4, which is the last day anyone is supposed to die from the virus according to model used by WH. We will already exceed 60k deaths in a few days. This is why we need to continue social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

More evidence of dereliction of duty by @realDonaldTrump. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @chrislhayes: put it in a museum. just incredible. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@AppleDank Did NBA suspend its season to hurt Trump? Did US military ban domestic travel to hurt Trump? Did GOP Gov DeWine go to early lockdown to hurt Trump? NO. This is not about Trump. It’s about lives. And if you don’t understand that, you may want to ask if you are part of a cult. — PolitiTweet.org

@RozzaKat13 What are you talking about? — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

@MattyRasman The House passed 3 bills to address the pandemic in March. And we just passed a fourth bill last week. What are you talking about? — PolitiTweet.org

Turns out that whether you are a Democratic, Republican, or independent, you don’t believe your life or that of your loved ones are expendable. #mondaythoughts — PolitiTweet.org
