At this point, you’ve probably heard a ton about chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine and how they may be effective in treating COVID-19. I wanted to tell you about a different molecule that’s getting less attention but may have good potential – Remdesivir.

In January, Donald Trump claimed the coronavirus was “totally under control.” In February, he said it would disappear. Now, he’s saying it “could’ve been stopped pretty easily if we had known.” Donald Trump knew. He failed to act. And now we’re paying the price.

People keep saying COVID-19 is a 'black swan' event - completely unexpected. Then there's this, from 2013 by Kai Kupferschmidt: "This shows, that right now in China, there are bats carrying a virus that can directly infect people & cause another SARS pandemic" wired.com/2013/10/bats-n…

We had projected a need for 110K hospital beds at the apex of this virus. The rate of infection is INCREASING and the curve has increased. New projections show we may need 140K beds. NYS is doing everything we can on every level to slow the spread. We need your cooperation.

We are not willing to sacrifice 1-2% of New Yorkers. That’s not who we are. We will fight to save every life we can. I am not giving up.

These are the burdens our medical heroes already face in NYC. It's only going to get harder across the country. Another reason to maintain social distancing policies at least until we have comprehensive testing in place. Not just for our sake—for theirs. newyorker.com/news/our-local…

Using real-time mobility data and detailed case data we elucidate "The effect of human mobility and control measures on the COVID-19 epidemic in China". Out today in Science Magazine w/Sam Scarpino @EvolveDotZoo and many others science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

Computer models have never been more important in the response to an infectious disease. That puts a huge responsibility on the modelers. New story by Kai Kupferschmidt and me: bit.ly/39lzuIY

This is not a vacation. While most of our residents understand this, some have refused to listen. So for the good of the city, we are immediately closing high-traffic areas of the city until further notice. #StayHomeSaveLives #FlattenTheCurveChi

President Trump today at the White House said to me: “Be nice. Don't be threatening.” I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job. My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.

TWEETORIAL time! In new work, we identify required transcription factors for neural differentiation using a TFome-wide CRISPR knock-out library. Congrats to first authors @congyiliv and Chao Dai (from our lab) and Gorkem Garipler, PhD (from @estebanmazzoni lab). 👏👏👏
