Just went for groceries, and every other person was wearing medical gloves...👎👎 It's safer to regularly wash your hands. #Coronavirus can collect on gloves. But if your job calls for gloves or your fears overwhelm your better judgment, here's the safest way to remove them.

Using a combination of known #coronavirus cases data from The New York Times and@uscensusbureau #ColumbiaSPH researchers Jeff Shaman and Sen Pei modeled how #COVID19 could evolve. The models offer a stark warning for what could come. ow.ly/vpOF30qrZXg #publichealth

To be very clear: by February 1, Ken Mandl & I found that multiple studies had come to the same conclusion about #COVID19 – that it had the potential to cause epidemics & that preparation was a must. Don’t let *anyone* (including the President) tell you that we didn't see it coming.

Sheltering at home it not a burden. It is a privilege. There are countless NYers who don't have that privilege, because they're out there putting themselves at risk for us, in healthcare, transit, 1st responders, supermarkets, pharmacies etc. You *owe* it the them to #StayHome.

Hey #publichealth and #epitwitter friends - if you haven't seen it yet, CDC just posted a bunch of 1-year openings around US for rapid govt hiring in response to #covid19 - they're open on usajobs.gov until 5/15.

#epitwitter Observational studies DO provide evidence! RCTs are NOT immune to bias! Why do we keep needing to yell this? Also EPI is SO much more than epidemic modeling & conducting RCTs! For all we need #causalinference to quantify effects (vs. mere associations) SER
