      One year ago, today: another frustrated thread. I hold the same opinion. The WHO is an essential institution with a large-number of hard-working, excellent employees and experts. But it absolutely needs reform to make it actually independent, nimble and responsive.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1237792673920167939 …

      WHO does a lot of amazing health work, including on COVID-19. I respect their medical staff greatly. But mark my words: this one will be a case study of how to bungle the messaging/strategy—from the top.

      SARS permanently damaged lungs of survivors so that's another concern. I hope this turns out to be seasonal and there's sustained immunity after exposure—and if and when anti-virals and vaccines are figured out, we don't also screw up scaling up production and distribution. Sigh.

      Yes, people have flu in their brains. COVID-19 patients show up with severe bilateral pneumonia! It's going to potentially cut through people's quality-of-remaining life and life expectancy, even among what gets classified as mild/moderate.

      What's happening now in Italy is that they have run out of hospital capacity. That will mean death rates will go up, not just from the coronavirus but from all other illnesses as well. We look about two weeks behind this point in big population centers. https://twitter.com/carlquintanilla/status/1237507100064047104 …

          And also one year ago today. (At the time, it still seemed preposterous to say all of this... Protect the elderly. Prepare to stay home. Yet, it was already obvious: Wuhan, Italy, Iran...)https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1237818632144650242 …

          To people asking for an update to my February article: besides your own social-distancing and hygiene, one great thing to do is to help elderly or vulnerable folks stay home. If you can shop for them, do their chores, drop food... Next, help everyone else stay home or stay away.

          Also one year ago a NCHS student showed up with this T-shirt. Found out his sister had just managed to avoid quarantine in Italy and was now living at home! We were closed two days later.pic.twitter.com/Ui5w0Qh2G1
