      COVID19 disinformation is everywhere. And it's undermining our response in the US. Below I tackle some of the most commonly mischaracterized things about #COVID19. These are the facts. So get it on your aunt's Facebook wall or print it out and put it in the break-room! THREAD

      Three new important studies came out in the past week about kids & #COVID19. All have limits (the science isn't perfect). But together, they matter, & you deserve to know about them! A thread on the takeaways for all of us, as parents / teachers / communities? 🧵

      𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤: At first we weren't sure (and frankly didn't communicate it well). But now we do know - masks ARE a critical part of stopping COVID. Do they provide 100% protection at all times? Nope. That's why it's not just masks: its masks + distancing + hand hygiene.

          To combat #COVID19, we need clear guidance, based on science and public health, from trusted authorities. And we must amplify the right voices. Because public health principles - not political bluster - will get us through this. And we will get through this. Be safe everyone.

          You are spreading misinformation, buddy. There are currently no credible studies showing what you claim. For example the Recovery study gave lethal overdoses 2400mg/24h to thousands of patients, while FDA only allows up to 800mg/24h. Bouleware is another ridiculous study.
