I keep thinking about this haunting first-person account from
@DrHelenOuyang of how the pandemic swept through NY hospitals, juxtaposed against similar experiences in Lombardy. It's an *incredible* feat of writing.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/14/magazine/coronavirus-er-doctor-diary-new-york-city.html …9 replies 390 retweets 1,562 likesShow this thread -
There are few people I would've trusted to do a big piece on coronavirus and climate change.
@meehancrist is on the top of a short list, and she utterly delivers here. Thoughtful, sweeping, forward-looking.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-climate-change.html …6 replies 258 retweets 1,062 likesShow this thread -
Are any reporters on the infectious disease beat more respected than
@helenbranswell? I doubt it. Her interview with CDC director Robert Redfield still lingers in the mind, but just read anything she writes.https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/04/an-interview-with-the-cdc-director-on-coronavirus-masks-and-an-agency-gone-quiet/ …7 replies 157 retweets 869 likesShow this thread -

@maggiekb1 is the god of the "this ostensibly simple thing is way more complicated than you think, but let me walk you through it" explainer. Here she is on why it's so hard to build a good COVID-19 model.https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-its-so-freaking-hard-to-make-a-good-covid-19-model/ …8 replies 197 retweets 910 likesShow this thread -

@sarahzhang is one of the most formidable science writers working today. This story on the various options for creating an anti-covid drug is great, and just read all her stories on treatments and antibody testing.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/04/what-coronavirus-drug-will-look-like/609661/ …1 reply 146 retweets 687 likesShow this thread -

@lizneeley's piece on how to talk about the coronavirus draws on her very deep knowledge of the science of science communication. It's a north star for all the difficult conversations ahead.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-talk-about-coronavirus/609118/ …5 replies 177 retweets 704 likesShow this thread -

@zeynep is a formidable thinker and has written so many pieces that have shaped how I've thought about the pandemic. This one on what models mean is great; so are all the rest.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-models-arent-supposed-be-right/609271/ …2 replies 105 retweets 553 likesShow this thread

Means a lot coming from you. (And I am still appreciative that you wrote that amazing piece on giraffes before diving back into all this!)
