Potential futures for Austin-Round Rock MSA that depend heavily on limiting physical interactions. Will we look more NYC or like Singapore? Great work of @UTAustin Prof Lauren Meyers @TexasScience #COVID @mpignone88 @MayorAdler @JudgeEckhardt @DellMedSchool @AusPublicHealth

again:
pregnant people are not more likely to be severely infected by #COVID19 than non-pregnant people
they are more likely to be severely AFFECTED
they deserve our focus and they deserve our innovation to ensure we can provide the care and support they need
1/ Thankfully pregnant people do not appear more likely than nonpregnant people to be severely infected by #COVID19
However they ARE more likely to be severely affected (as are those who care for them and support them)

Tip for debugging plots (in ggplot2) from @ClausWilke:
1. Save your plot (for example, as 'figure')
2. Call layer_plot(figure)
Now you can see the data that ggplot2 is using to generate your plot to help you debug! #rstats

Ever wonder why you get so sleepy during conference talks? Turns out lots of conference venues aren't well-ventilated, causing CO2 to rise to levels that cause drowsiness (>1000ppm). Data from @keflavich shows this steady rise over the first 50min of a conference session.

Treat a data request more like a consult... you need to ask a clear question and describe the help you need from the expert.

Beware the “oxygen ferry” (the Foley fairy’s and Telemetry gnome’s cousin) per @ChrisMoriates & Carrie Herzke at #HospMed19. Recent evidence suggesting O2>92% may have adverse mortality outcomes—especially among those with MI.
