      NYT has new info about Trump's COVID, and my estimate of it *using Kremlinology* was correct! (I piped up because some doctors said he got dexa incorrectly/early because of "VIP medicine syndrome"—not impossible though with that White House, sadly, Kremlinology tad more useful). https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1312821203074265088 …pic.twitter.com/R11rEmBAGJ

      It's been a weird year where a lot of my "Third World" habits and skills have been more relevant than I'd have liked: trying figuring out how to import medical masks for health-care workers, reading between the lines during press conferences of a misinformer-in-chief, shortages..

      I was talking about this with someone with a similar background, and we reflected on the "culture shock" of having arrived at a place where many institutions worked pretty well, in comparison to our experience. Last year was a reverse culture shock (though it didn't start then.)

      Replying to @zeynep

      Biggest one for me was using non-official info sources. Grew up in Dubai behind a proxy and with govt. censors blacking out the word Israel in school books. Never thought I'd need to go back whisper-nets, foreign scholars, blogs, reading between the lines on UN/WHO reports etc.

          I know, right! That's how I felt last year. A lot of reading between the lines, networks, figuring out new trusted experts, etc.

          Some of this resolves with the exit of DJT but a lot...doesn't. I don't know if the system is capable of the kind of introspection and acknowledgement of failures required to restore trust. Personally, if there's another potential pandemic, I'm looking to KDCA and Taiwan CDC.

          On COVID, rapidly got non-US experts, like @MackayIM and @firefoxx66 and @MarionKoopmans to combat administration misinfo
