Predictive modeling aren't perfect for decision-making, but the alternative is to just guess, or flip a coin, or use a taro deck. I'll stick with models. Here's a great guide to help understand their use. Be SAFE. Stay HOME. #sciencematters #COVID19 jhsph.edu/covid-19/artic…

How many Americans will die daily in July? Use logic not hope. Start with facts. Under lockdown- 81000 dead since 3/1, avg 1894 DAILY DEATHS. The virus is still there & now were 'opening'! Send me your best estimate - 500? 1000? 3000? 5000 a day? #COVID19 #ScienceMatters

COVID has barely started. 2 days ago the Spanish govt released an antibody survey of 60,000 people. lamoncloa.gob.es/serviciosdepre… BAD NEWS- Only 5% have been infected and a fatality rate of almost 1%. That would mean MILLIONS of American deaths. #coronavirus #COVID19 #ScienceMatters

WATCH THIS. This is why wearing masks SHOULD BE MANDATORY when we are around others for the next 6-12 month. #covid19 #sciencematters #StayHome #WearAMask nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #nejm

Where's the OUTRAGE!? CDC says 705 dead healthcare workers but capture <1/4 = >2500 DEAD. A plane crashes and kills 3 or a mine accident kills 6, we investigate. 2500 DEAD in 6 mo. WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE? INVESTIGATIONS? We're fodder for the fools @SEIUNURSES LibertyBansTrumpism 🌊 @ACEPNow

I'm finally ethical! Here's my latest publication about the moral imperative to protect healthcare workers. I had to use really big words for this one. My rants continue. @ACEPNow ACEP Advocacy AACN US HCWs Lost to Covid19 The COVID Tracking Project tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I'm tired of ethicists telling me what to do- "It’s far too easy to assign broad duties to others when sitting safely at home typing on a laptop" #ethics #bioethics #ethicalhacking #ethical tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
