While *national* media attention focuses on the tension between Trump and the governors, the friction between governors and mayors is poised to become a dominant *local* storyline over the coming weeks. https://t.co/SANadt5ToO — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Atlanta v. Georgia, Houston v. Texas, OKC v. OK. What’s happening in the South is a preview of what's to come. As governors grapple with reopening, they may chart very different courses than the leaders of the largest cities in their states support. https://t.co/SANadt5ToO — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Brian Kemp is not just lifting statewide restrictions on businesses in GA. His directive explicitly supersedes *all* local orders. This preemption has incensed mayors of cities who worry that he is recklessly jeopardizing the health of their constituents. https://t.co/SANadt5ToO — PolitiTweet.org

This is how we beat polio AND Hitler. It's how we defeated the Southern insurrection, the Spanish armada & the Soviet empire. We always have prevailed, and we will always will, because we are Americans. This invisible enemy will be no different. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

When we mobilize our brains AND our brawn, we can vanquish any enemy. We're seeing heroic scientists AND factory workers. People with PhDs AND GEDs are stepping up. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

The PA factory is just 1 example of everyday Americans stepping up as our country gets on a war footing to fight the contagion. For as badly as Trump's botched the federal response, there’s nothing wrong with America that cannot be fixed by what’s right with America: our people. — PolitiTweet.org

The journey from a blob of chemicals into a face mask in the hands of an EMT in New Jersey or a grocery-store clerk in Nevada begins at plants like these. I really wish I could buy a beer for all 43 of these guys. Their willingness to volunteer is inspiring. — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: My podcast today ends with the story of 43 men who lived inside a Pennsylvania factory for 28 days to make millions of pounds of raw PPE materials to help fight the coronavirus. Listen: https://t.co/4iyCk3Uzb6 — PolitiTweet.org

The next stimulus bill is already coming into focus after the House passes a $484 billion package. Farmers are throwing away tons of food, even as needy American families go hungry. Doctors alarmed by Trump comments. Listen to the Big Idea podcast: https://t.co/4iyCk3Uzb6 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Nancy Messonnier was removed from her post as the CDC's coronavirus response chief after saying on Feb. 25 that Americans should begin preparing for “significant disruption” to their daily lives. What now sounds so innocuous made Trump irate at the time. https://t.co/0ismLczKjg — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump’s professed unfamiliarity with a top official tasked with developing a cure for a contagion that has killed at least 46,782 Americans is in and of itself remarkable. But it captures in miniature his strained relationship with scientific experts. https://t.co/0ismLczKjg — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Trump claimed three times last night that he “never heard of” Rick Bright, the scientist who alleges he was removed as the leader of the federal agency working on a coronavirus vaccine because he resisted pressure to “provide an unproven drug on demand to the American public.” — PolitiTweet.org

Two NY house cats have tested positive. One is owned by a person who tested positive for the coronavirus before the cat showed any symptoms, BUT the other cat lives in a household where no members have confirmed cases of the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Another surprising finding is that 70% of the NY patients who were sick enough to be admitted to the hospital for coronavirus did *NOT& have a fever. CDC currently lists fever as THE top symptom. For weeks, many testing centers have turned away patients if they did not have one. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

In New York’s largest hospital system, a JAMA study shows 88% of coronavirus patients put on ventilators did NOT make it, worse than expected. Of those who died, 57% had hypertension, 41% were obese and 34% had diabetes. Surprisingly, asthma was not near the top of the list. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Several autopsies of people who have succumbed to coronavirus show some people’s lungs filled with hundreds of MICROCLOTS. Errant blood clots of a larger size can break off and travel to the brain or heart, causing a stroke or heart attack. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Scientists hypothesize that some medical abnormalities may be explained by severe and rapid changes in patients’ blood that cause CLOTS. It's the opposite of what occurs in Ebola, Dengue, and other hemorrhagic fevers that lead to uncontrolled bleeding. But the same phenomenon. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

A growing body of evidence suggests the virus is most contagious in people BEFORE they develop a fever or even feel a tickle in their throat. That suggests silent spreaders are seeding new cases as some governors rush to relax restrictions. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Thread: Several new studies are deepening the scientific understanding of how the coronavirus works, even as mysteries remain. I review a few of the key findings in the Big Idea podcast this morning: https://t.co/eobKYNKfv6 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Most Americans are still believed to be uninfected. They're like dry kindling on a forest floor. Barring a vaccine or treatment, covid-19 will keep burning until it runs out of fuel. That's why governors rushing to lift restrictions will likely cost lives. https://t.co/eobKYNKfv6 — PolitiTweet.org

Biden, who intends to name a VP selection panel by May 1, says the pick must be “intellectually simpatico.” Klobuchar appeared as a guest on Biden’s podcast this week and will headline a “Women for Biden” virtual town hall tomorrow, per @AnnieLinskey: https://t.co/B0yAkHMIKp — PolitiTweet.org
