Do people have any good follows on twitter for covid information locally (Seattle area) or nationally/internationally? I have cdc, Trevor Bradford, Looking of making a twitter list.
Good grief. Friend of mine was sick Saturday who works at amazon (no idea if he still is but they called off doing our usual Saturday roleplay due to it). They seemed sure it was not covid but maybe because they thought it was not common and he didn't have a chance of having it.
My roommate who works at another company downtown has had his company be forced virtual starting yesterday
I have a friend who is a microbiologist that I trust. He made a facebook opinion post and gave me the okay to share it, excluding his name and information of course.
I'm going to post the information, this person is a well regarded, verified former congressional nominee and a key figure in the east side community with key business connections:

I feel like her posts about the hospital is just scaring people since she isn't exactly an expert on medicine. Like did she see this in person, word of mouth or did a hospital staff tell her?
She's reachable on social media and will
Answer questions. My assumption is she knows staff/administrators there, which makes sense due her previous positions.
She answered a question I had about her number of potential cases.
Redmond proclaims local emergency.
I'd trust the rational, level headed advice from actual medical professionals over the fear mongering tweets of a former politician/businessperson, for what it's worth.
Good luck to anyone who thinks the SBA could make a loan decision within a semi reasonable amount of time.
Well I don't have twitter anymore so I'll just read your questions lol
Not that I don't believe this but still she should be citing where she's getting this info from, throwing out big numbers like this (3-4x larger than what the Fred Hutch analysis shows) isn't helpful without providing a direct source.
She tweeted yesterday that we are on track for 100K deaths per week by May 1st. That seems...really extreme to me. I'm skeptical.
While I agree her mitigation ideas are extreme, the bigger point is this is way under reported, including by dr Bradford.
Yeah I get the frustration but saying they're on course for 100k+ deaths/week by May is pretty bad.
Now this sounds like incredibly dangerous fear mongering.
Yeah, I'm gonna say that person is not a good source. Maybe if she will post where she is getting all this. Sounds like some of this is napkin math she is doing on her own.
that's 2 months away
with no action, and hospitals being overloaded... i'd say there's a chance it happens. what was a huge problem for china was the complete inability to treat most people. imagine that everywhere.
there's a reason why a lot of us keep trying to say it's important to act quickly and decisively. China got around it by shutting everything down hard. They lost a couple thousand people even though they shut everything down 1 month after outbreak. imagine 2 months into a huge outbreak how it will look if nobody is doing anything.

Please report it if you feel it's not appropriate, I asked mods twice to PM so I could share the link. I made a decision based on this person's credentials and found them legitimate and shared the public information.
I don't feel I should get a ban for this, however.
I don't feel I should get a ban for this, however.
I don't feel you deserve one either. Like her other points are fine and make sense. Like giving financial assistance or waiving medical feels for Covid related bills. But any medical shit she says seems like nonsense and it's straight up spreading FUD.
There are three parts of this post. The first one is some scary "fact" that, if true should be quickly collaborate by other people. Second part is really napkin math, cases does not grow at constant rate. When there are 1000 cases I bet half the city would idle which slows down transmission - of course this will bring other issues unless the government quickly step in. The third part is some suggestions that make sense.
So until there are more people confirming #1, I think she is just trying to sell her own idea using some misleading math.

That's not a serious analysis and I think I'm gonna look for predictions and insights elsewhere.

I've thought of this scene more than I'd care to admit reading this thread. That one, and the Hurricane episode.
You really shouldn't. I don't entirely believe her, but she WAS a main election candidate for US Congress and her views should be considered legitimately newsworthy.
Well someone at work has corona virus so now I'm shit scared. I think they're going to close the office down tomorrow.
