Before making the call on masking, @CDCgov shd have put an end to hand sanitizing as a means to contain Covid

1/ Back when I was @HaloNeuro CEO, I had the pleasure of meeting @StephenCurry30. The forum was an intimate, 30ish person conference organized by @andre for NBA players to learn about tech companies youtube.com/watch?v=hU0MbpYD…

6/ The next 20 min, we jammed on neuroscience, motor control, training techniques. Steph asked deep probing questions but always with respect and humility. Even today 5 yrs later, I am still inspired by his humble, relentless pursuit to achieve

7/ So when @StephenCurry30 goes on a run like the one he's on right now, I'm impressed but not surprised. There's a lot more left to see 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 xitter.cf/warriors/status/138433…
Steph now has six games with 10+ threes this season alone. No other player in NBA history has more than five such games in their career.

T-cell mediated immunity and ~150M Americans that "earned" their natural immunity from prior infection deserve more discussion. The light at the end of the pandemic tunnel could be closer than we think. @MartyMakary @WSJ wsj.com/articles/well-have-h…

1/47 chance someone in SF has Covid. And SF is doing comparatively well. Time to hunker down. Not worth the risk with the vaccine around the corner
Case #'s in SF worsening. A number I follow is @UCSFHospitals case-pos. rate in asymptomatic pts (ie, pts getting cardiac cath or surgery). Was 0.4% last mth; now 2.1%. So person near you at party or store has 1-in-47 chance of having Covid, even if feeling fine. Be careful (1/3)

Squint hard at the zero line to see the 2020 data. The Southern Hemisphere basically public health'ed themselves out of a flu season. The North can to. Mask up all!

Is POTUS the first person in the world to receive remdesivir combo'ed with Regeneron antibody cocktail? The later is an FDA IND so I think so And yet, WH reports all is 👍 Huge disconnect bw the aggressive/risky treatment strategy and rosy positive health reports

Or... Regeneron insiders have data on the use of their antibody cocktail with remdesivir. POTUS getting this combo therapy suggest the data is strong. Shd we all go long on $REGN and $GILD? Treatment is better than a vaccine
A one minute to pitch is unfair to the entrepreneur and meaningless to the investor @ycombinator #ycdemoday

Still confused by how the airline industry got 1) free money from public funds and 2) free pass on distancing / density. @CDCgov
(1/15) Study describing a probable case of #SARSCoV2 transmission by an asymptomatic person (completely without symptoms during infection) on an aeroplane during an evacuation flight to South Korea. #COVID19 wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26…

#slowstreets in SF has been an amazing program for community building and providing safe recreational space during SIP. D6 only has four blocks. We can do better. Vote for turning your street into a #slowstreet here sfmta.com/projects/slow-stre… @sfmta_muni @MattHaneySF

This site built by @OurWorldInData is awesomely customizable and illuminating. Eg, if you standardize by population, US doesn't look as bad. Also, bravo to SKorea ourworldindata.org
