      How can we stop pandemics? Pandemic Math explains: Turn rapid exponential growth to rapid exponential decline. Change the contact network by (1) targeted individual isolation (2) early symptom identification (3) reduce social connectivity (4) travel and group boundaries. pic.twitter.com/8BkEFizHEv

      Big picture speculation worth keeping in mind (this event is the tree; governance wrt existential risk over this century is the forest) about how our politics may be headed ... https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1224244509313290240 … (3/n)

      Sometimes a solution creates the next problem. My rough forecast of the future: the coronavirus results in quarantines, nationalism, centralization. And this may actually work to stop the spread. But once under control, states will not cede their powers. So, we decentralize.

      We'll need decentralized medicine because (a) you don't want a nosocomial infection and (b) there are only ~100k ICU beds in the US. That means repurposed wearables, portable diagnostics, mobile medical imaging, telemedicine, home care, expanded compassionate use, and more. https://twitter.com/ehn/status/1232511775523762181 …

      This is a CRAZY degree of overregulation. Many around the world can make/do such tests, why limit US folks to using govt approved US made tests? Having far fewer tests done is FAR worse harm than any higher test error rates averted. https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1232672930879934464 …

      For me and for everyone I know who has been following #covid19, the last few days have felt like a profound shift in the epidemic. We are clearly entering a new phase. And since I've had some time to digest recent news, here is a short thread about that „window of opportunity“

      New piece. Hear me out. What if Xi Jinping didn't even *know* of key details of the coronavirus outbreak until it was too late? What if his authoritarian blindspot was *worsened* by China's use of surveillance and censorship technology? https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/02/coronavirus-and-blindness-authoritarianism/606922/ … pic.twitter.com/Zof3Ct6taI

      Replying to @I_are @zeynep

      My reading is that Chinese scientists were quite remarkable in sequencing the genome and attempting to warn, work with international partners. I am not sure treating China as a hostile actor is sensible right now.

      Chinese scientists and medical workers were ordered to shut up until it was too late.
