1/ Love . @tntradioempire, but listen boys: NOBODY puts tequila in the relief-pitcher spot.
Listen live, online, via streaming-& catch them on The Doctors soon!
We covered ALL #COVID19 because this country is an epidemiologist& #39;s nightmare. Please see the thread.

2/ Folks: if you *honestly* believe that only 44 cases of #COVID have occurred in 1.2 BILLION people traveling by air, I have a bridge to sell you in London.
The study *by the airline* industry did not test all 1.2BIL people.
Denominators matter. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-airlines-risks/bad-math-airlines-covid-safety-analysis-challenged-by-expert-idUSKBN27411C">https://www.reuters.com/article/u...

3/ The . @CDCgov estimates at least 11K have been exposed-& likely more, given lack of contact tracing + people& #39;s unwillingness to admit symptoms.
This CAN be minimized by wearing a mask at all times, distancing, etc.
It is NOT risk free. https://www.theday.com/article/20200920/NWS13/200929966">https://www.theday.com/article/2...

4/Overall, our #COVID numbers are getting much worse.
In the spring, we had just 6-12 states with 1000+ new positive cases; on 10/15, we had 25 states hit that threshold.
This is not just "more testing"-more testing should = less cases.
It& #39;s a failure of us to act appropriately.

5/ First of all: #WearADamnMask!
EVEN IF YOU& #39;RE OUTSIDE- #WearAMask

The #RoseGardenMassacre happened *outside*-but NO one was wearing a mask!
If you& #39;re anywhere near someone not in your household, #WearADamnMask!

6/ IF YOU ARE INSIDE, #WearADamnMask!
There is no such thing as a "socially distanced" event: SARS-CoV-2 doesn& #39;t care if you& #39;re 6ft away from the unmasked person.
Your ventilation is not better than the presidential debate that infected dozens. https://twitter.com/trishgreenhalgh/status/1300086990709362693?s=20">https://twitter.com/trishgree...

7/Let me repeat this again: if you are with anyone not in your household, you need to be wearing a mask, indoors or outdoors.
Our laxity with this has allowed this surge to happen.
Countries w/strict policies now have more freedom than we do.

8/ OH-and by the way: the . @CDCgov has issued updated guidance on what is "close contact:" it is now being <6ft for >=15 minutes *within 24hrs* of a someone who was positive. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1319018336026578944?s=20">https://twitter.com/DrEricDin...
9/ Also: quarantine is *14* days.
Not 7 days. Not 10 days.
It& #39;s not based on how you feel.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦♀️" title="Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht">
14 days.

10/ Also: a negative test is not a free pass to do whatever you want.
If you were exposed-you quarantine. This is because of false negative rates.
*This stops the chain of transmission.*
Exhibit A: the Trump Administration. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-covid-plagued-white-house-proves-testing-alone-can-ncna1242448">https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opi...

11/ Please avoid indoor events as much as possible.
If you must be indoors, a mask must be worn BY EVERYONE, ALL OF THE TIME.
If we ALL do this, we can significantly reduce the potential for spread. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e6.htm">https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volu...

12/ Also: please stop shaming the people who do speak up when feeling ill or worried about exposure.
Coaches, teachers, parents, ADULTS: set a better example for our kids.
This public health crisis is more impt than a game.
Don& #39;t pressure kids to lie or hide symptoms.

13/ Also: please don& #39;t get mad at the scientists & public health experts.
We are exhausted. We are tired. We are trolled, name-called, attacked.
But we are still trying to *save lives* & save this country.
Get mad at officials who don& #39;t listen to science.
