    We've known about asymptomatic transmission since March Administration's refusal to make widespread testing available means we can't use this tool to control virus And now, with runaway spread, we're left with far less appetizing approaches to control it It was all preventable

    New paper on SARS-CoV2 transmission among Marines. Key finding? 90% had no symptoms Very high Means we'll never identify infections or break chains of transmission unless we are testing asymptomatic people And here's the problem: Thread 1 of 2

    I wonder if we will disparage the arrival of more vaccines as me-too / incremental medicines ? Asking 4 friend.

    Ron Klain’s deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need in a White House chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again.

    Today we set new record highs for cases AND hospitalizations. On the same day. Also had the highest death toll in months. I wrote an explainer for why these daily trends should temper any optimism. The next few months will be hard and painful. 👇

    Nationwide COVID-19 metrics, for November 10th. Chart shows daily tests, daily cases, currently hospitalized, and daily deaths. All four metrics are rising.
    Our daily update is published. States reported 1.2 million tests and 131k cases, the highest single-day total since the pandemic started. There are 62k people currently hospitalized with COVID-19. The death toll was 1,347.

    In 2008, during financial crisis, Bush & Obama teams worked closely to ensure we didn't waste the time between election, inauguration That should be model for transition now My (likely naïve) piece on how to handle this transition during a health crisis

    Great video about aerosol transmission and superspreading, role of ventilation in reducing the risk of long-range aerosol transmission (beyond about 6')!

    Let's talk about aerosol transmission of infection diseases! Watch this awesome animation produced and drawn by Dr. , script by me, and narration by me and my daughter.

    “In my mind between now and inauguration day...we're likely to see an additional 100,000 Americans dying.” Dr. says many more deaths could happen unless “bold action” is taken in the next couple of months to stop the spread of COVID-19.

    Why? Continued improvements in treatment will help -- but will only make a modest difference So we could hit the worst day of the pandemic when we lost nearly 2500 Americans And with 71 days to inauguration, we could easily average 1500 deaths daily between now and then 5/6

    If we are conservative and assume infections 3X that of Oct 7 And if Oct 7 infections give us 1,000 deaths today Simple math says that we are likely to have 3,000 deaths a day in 4 to 5 weeks (mid-December) Will that happen? I suspect we might do a bit better 4/6

    So number of identified infections 2.5X And % positive doubled.....meaning we are missing MANY more cases today than on Oct 7 We're missing so many cases today b/c of our wholly inadequate testing So I suspect true number of infections at least 3-5X what it was on Oct 7 3/4

    The 1,000 deaths represents infections that happened 4-5 weeks ago So how many infections happened 4-5 weeks ago? On October 7, we had about 45,000 cases with 5% positivity rate Yesterday, we had 110,000 cases with 10% positive rate These are 7-d moving averages 2/6

    Biden team won't have formal power to manage COVID until January 20 71 days Between now and then, we may see additional 100,00 deaths from COVID Its a horribly high number Why do I say that? Heres the math Right now, 1000 people dying every day That number will rise Thread
