1/ THREAD: The idea that @CDCgov isn’t doing science is—well, unscientific. CDC's 20,000 staff work 24/7 to protect you. Scientific articles in @CDCMMWR now far outpace prior epidemics. CDC & other public health scientists are hitting their stride. Now media must read and report.

2/ The CDC has published 34 deeply-researched articles on #COVID19 in 16 weeks. These are some recent highlights of the important, necessary work the agency has done.

4/ What went right and wrong in our early public health response, and why NYC was so vulnerable. http://bit.ly/2TP10JY  (May 8)

5/ There were more than 4,000 excess deaths in NYC at the peak. On why 100,000 US deaths from #COVID19 is an underestimate: http://bit.ly/2X89jCT  (May 15)

6/ Nursing home outbreaks can be stopped! Read how. http://bit.ly/3euYkci  (May 22)

7/ Gatherings—such as the one at this rural Arkansas church—can be fatal and social distancing life-saving. http://bit.ly/2XH8Re1  (May 22)

8/ Although @CDCgov is doing important work, we will all be safer when we're hearing from the agency frequently, letting public health experts guide our response to the pandemic, and fully supporting public health.
