      We desperately need these rapid tests for infectious covid (not PCR for infected). The rationale and the obstacle (FDA) laid out so well by @michaelmina_lab, @DanLarremore, Roy Parker @CUBoulder in today's @NEJM https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2025631?query=featured_home …pic.twitter.com/bdBXTb3dlC

      In today's superspreader/overdispersion piece by @zeynep (the best, comprehensive one on this topic to date), she also reviews how important these cheap, frequent, rapid turnaround tests can prevent such spread https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/k-overlooked-variable-driving-pandemic/616548/ … @TheAtlanticpic.twitter.com/fHEkcwditB

          A lot, tbh.😬 But totally worth it. Fun reading the many papers but it is hard to try to nail down both the (fast moving) science and produce a readable explanation. 😄 I just hope it helps. Also my editor is great. If it doesn’t communicate, he makes sure that I know. @andersen

          Zeynep, more than ever, I appreciate not just your work, but how you write and get complex ideas across for laypeople. So many writers can’t even explain simple concepts without over complicating it. You make everything readable and understandable. Thank you both for your work.
