1/ COVID ( @UCSanDiego) Chronicles - Sept 13, 2020
Let's reflect on a milestone: 6 months ago today, @realDonaldTrump declared a national emergency, stating that "1,645 people from 47 States have been infected with #COVID19." How are we doing today? https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-declaring-national-emergency-concerning-novel-coronavirus-disease-covid-19-outbreak/

3/ In @SanDiegoCounty, over 42k cases of #COVID19 have been diagnosed with 3,232 hospitalizations and 709 deaths
4/ At @UCSDHealth hospitalizations are down overall with 23 inpatients hospitalized for #COVID19. On this graph, it's easy to see the July surge.
5/ What will happen this fall? New spikes are coming in younger patients, especially college students.

6/ As @UCSanDiego prepares to bring thousands of students back to @SanDiegoCounty, I am thrilled that we will be able to offer a voluntary pilot program using @Google / @Apple exposure notification technology https://health.ucsd.edu/news/releases/Pages/2020-09-11-uc-campuses-pilot-google-apple-notification-technology-to-help-prevent-covid-19-outbreaks-.aspx
7/ This pilot program @UCSanDiego and @UCSF is made possible by partnership with @CAPublicHealth, support from the @Apple and @Google teams, and the work of many legislators and advocates

8/ The @UCSanDiego exposure notification pilot will be using the new EN Express option announced last week

9/ Importantly, @CAPublicHealth will also use the @APHL key server, which allows exposure notifications to work between users who have applications published by different US states https://www.aphlblog.org/covid-19-exposure-notifications-expand-among-public-health-community/
10/ Exposure notification apps are most useful not for household contacts and close friends, but for strangers at parties, in planes, and...dining at restaurants https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/investigations/highest-number-of-covid-19-outbreaks-occurred-at-san-diego-restaurants-and-bars/2399467/
11/ I am optimistic that high-tech tools like the exposure notification pilot, coupled with basic measures like masking and frequent testing, will help ensure that @SanDiegoCounty does not land in the purple tier https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/what-happens-if-san-diego-countys-covid-19-case-rates-land-us-in-the-purple-tier/2402165/
12/ Stay safe, sanguine, and separated this coming week...it's going to be a busy one! https://twitter.com/LaurenmCoronado/status/1305385928618246146
