Somehow the buzz about how COVID lungs don't behave on ventilation like lungs with traditional problems (ARDS) https://t.co/38XGPBtQrM resonates with this wacky thread which was ripped by experts https://t.co/IGCeMGOdkj

Rosie Thomas' "When We Were Small." The first 3 songs are so heart-ripping I haven't even listened to the rest of it (except the last song, which is as good as the first 3). https://t.co/4ixFyq6fQE

Another reason to push out the curve (and delay) through distancing–gives doctors time to figure out how best to use even existing techniques, like ventilators https://t.co/lZgJq6x2Am

If Trump had bought Navarro's warning and gone crazy warning about pandemic virus from Hunan in January, demanding distancing etc, would NYT have mocked him as unhinged anti-China conspiracy theorist acting with 'little evidence' etc.? https://t.co/lMBRu3zpQy

Beating up on right wing kooks seems @NYTimes default fan service strategy. Avoids need to investigate difficult issues (does chloroquine work? Where *did* virus come from?) Are always think-tankers & academics who can be quoted condemning. https://t.co/yhW3DObAce

Those California city comparisons in full (thanks). Why isn't the most common Twitter response–Bay Area cities locked down earlier–the right explanation? (Though why does Silicon Valley do so badly if they're the WFH champs?) https://t.co/nBDvkyH14W

Well if the unprecedented draconian lockdown works (as it seems to be working elsewhere, though it is obviously way too early to be sure) and works better than the model expected, I'm not going to knock the unprecedented draconian lockdown. Go ahead and blast the model. https://t.co/cTjU9GaTER

I don't understand. So the model was wrong. But things started to get better, death-wise, after social distancing, about the time they were supposed to get better from social distancing. So why can't we credit social distancing? https://t.co/scCHtAFeAm
