i’ve been skeptical of the seemingly arbitrary 2-week isolation period - particularly in light of so many asymptomatic carriers - and curious as to why it was touted so widely. glad i listened to my gut on this. COVID-19 is not yet well understood *at all.* https://twitter.com/scottgottliebmd/status/1245599484580528128

as i was saying... the mechanics around transmission and detection of COVID-19 are not yet well understood. It’s too fucking new to fully appreciate the totality of this virus. don’t be stupidly arrogant or cavalier - stay the hell at home! https://twitter.com/lachlan/status/1245733273118167040?s=21

this thread by @PeterKolchinsky is an excellent breakdown of the viral mechanisms and asymptomatic spread of the COVID-19/SARS-Cov-2 virus, as covered in the aforementioned paper published in NATURE. read it and share it widely. https://twitter.com/peterkolchinsky/status/1246975275021348865?s=21
