“@flyLAXairport Much appreciated”
“@PPathole @BBCScienceNews Have you seen more data on HCQ & Z-Pak? Hard to find.”
“@BBCScienceNews Worrisome”
“@thirdrowtesla Yup”
“@JohnnaCrider1 @thirdrowtesla We’ll try to get & deliver as many as possible. N95 masks are a pain to wear btw. Less onerous masks are better most of the time.”
“@Kristennetten @thirdrowtesla @SalehCU Yeah. We have a mask shipment stuck at LAX. Hopefully freed up soon.”
“@engineers_feed Nice”
“@JohnCleese This is great advice”
“@uwdrwaldorf @Tesla @omead_a @UWMedicine Thanks for taking delivery in your garage! Let us know if there’s anything else you need.”
“@justpaulinelol @EvaFoxU @Tesla We expect to have over ~1200 to distribute this week. Getting them delivered, installed & operating is the harder part.”
“@EvaFoxU @Tesla Supply chain logistics — getting masks & other PPE to the right places in time — is the main issue we’re hearing from ER physicians”
“@NativeCACV @Tesla @omead_a You’re most welcome. We’re working on getting other types of PPE too. Ventilators should arrive within a few days.”
“@benikbeno @CDCgov Panic is always dumb”
“@Guruleaks1 @benikbeno Italy: “On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus.””
“@CDCgov Close contact family gatherings that mix young kids, who have almost no risk of C19 death, with grandparents who have high risk (especially those with prior lung damage), are one of the most powerful mortality vectors”
“@Jennerator211 We have N95 masks & getting PAPRs. Will have our team reach out.”
“Just had a long engineering discussion with Medtronic about state-of-the-art ventilators. Very impressive team!”
“@SamTalksTesla @flcnhvy @thirdrowtesla @NateSilver538 No problem :)”
“@SamTalksTesla @flcnhvy @thirdrowtesla @NateSilver538 Sigmoid (S-curve) is how all physical and mental viruses behave, regardless of containment. Containment reduces asymptote of S-curve. At this point, we have strict containment in US/Europe & should expect similarly reduced asymptote to China.”
“@flcnhvy @thirdrowtesla @NateSilver538 Sigmoidal for China, followed by sigmoidal for rest of world”
“@Lauren62515251 @PPathole @NateSilver538 Fair point :)”
“@RiccitelliDylan @ColdBuschLights @PPathole @NateSilver538 Exactly, both would be false positive. Also, dying with C19 is different from dying because of C19. Vast majority who died had other illnesses too. https://t.co/YKMW54q2kL”
“@PPathole @NateSilver538 Up to 80% false positive”
“@PPathole @NateSilver538 Sure, although ventilator companies definitely know how to make ventilators. Just a spike in demand right now. Also, using CPAP machines for less severe cases & using one ventilator for several patients seem like good moves to meet short-term demand.”
“@NateSilver538 Do you have data on the false positive rate? I’ve heard a wide range of numbers. CDC numbers are almost an order of magnitude lower between high fidelity data (onset date known) and “presumed positive”. https://t.co/vZ3PbhQihG https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html”
“@friedberg Feels like the plot of Deus Ex https://t.co/R8tmw048JM https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex_(video_game)”
“@MG42bonesaw A single computer, pump & pressure accumulator would be fine for many patients, but ideally individual valves per patient to personalize care & avoid cross-flow risk”
“@RenataKonkoly @moskov Yeah, SpaceX is working on ventilators too”
“@moskov That won’t work for our auto parts suppliers, so, no, our US factory can’t stay open”
“@EdLudlow Yes, we’re working on ventilators, even though I think they probably won’t be needed”
“@alandrummond2 Interesting thread”
“@DOfaquarius @PPathole Thanks 💖”
“@Cernovich China is operating normally across hundreds of suppliers & all of Tesla Shanghai”
“@DOfaquarius @PPathole We’re working on ventilators, even though I think there will not be a shortage by the time we can make enough to matter”
“@flcnhvy Anyone feeling even slightly ill should stay home. Elderly should avoid close contact, even with family members, for now. Those seem most important.”
“@RationalEtienne @PPathole https://t.co/eltgA3hrAr”
“@RationalEtienne @PPathole Kids are essentially immune, but elderly with existing conditions are vulnerable. Family gatherings with close contact between kids & grandparents probably most risky.”
“@PPathole Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April”
“@PPathole Yes”
“No new domestic corona cases in China https://t.co/lGmxRvMyFy https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/world/asia/china-coronavirus-zero-infections.html”
“@westcoastbill Imo, this professor is correct. Also, growth rate of confirmed C19 cases is dropping every day, despite 10X increase in testing. From Tues to today, was 43%, 24%, 17%. Track this chart: https://t.co/vZ3PbhQihG https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html”
“@NYCMayor @NateSilver538 Sounds good, we will connect with your team to understand potential needs”
“@M_Mosseri @SpaceX @NASA @NASA_Astronauts Yes”
“@DisruptResearch @Jason True”
“@Jason Exactly. My guess is that the panic will cause more harm than the virus, if that hasn’t happened already.”
“@suhaylabbas @fawadchaudhry We will make ventilators if there is a shortage”
“@cleantechnica https://t.co/9XVratNhnq”
“@cleantechnica Some helpful data from Italy https://t.co/3taxq5NXcZ”
“@cleantechnica Monitor graph at bottom of CDC website. New “confirmed” cases, not oft-reported “presumptive positive” is trending to level off over next few weeks & be negligible by end of April. Same pattern as China. https://t.co/vZ3PbhQihG https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html”
