While not technically alive, there's an evil genius to viruses that never ceases to amaze me. It's one reason I became a virologist. A recent Nature paper reveal a remarkable trick SARS-Cov-2 learned that makes it nastier than the first SARS. Both viruses…

Because of Trump, the U.S. isn't ready for a pandemic. He's put millions of lives in danger. By me for @shareblue shareblue.com/trumps-failure…

I hacked together biomed-sanity.com today. It pulls all (884) COVID-19 papers from bioRxiv / medRxiv (connect.biorxiv.org/relate/content…) and makes them searchable and sortable. Most important is "show similar", which uses tfidf exemplar SVMs. +Open sourced on Github under MIT license

What if the multitrillion dollar bill doesn’t work because it isn’t aimed at the actual upstream cause, namely the virus?

One of the most painful lessons of this crisis is the extent to which America cannot or will not identify with Chinese pain. Every horror that is happening here happened first in Wuhan. We covered it. Many people did not care.

A stimulus that hands $500 billion to known swindlers like Trump & Mnuchin is a betrayal of American taxpayers. Help people & the businesses who keep them employed directly, not the fat cats who buy back stock and take big bonuses. The economy is people!

A Korean COVID-19 patient's medical bill (hospitalized 19 days). omn.kr/1mz11 - Total expenses: ~$7,800 - National Health Insurance coverage: ~$6,650 - Copayment: ~$1,150 - Special COVID-19 govt subsidies: ~$1,150 So the patient pays *zero*.

I can see people's misunderstanding of UBI already leaking into the #EmergencyUBI plans. Let me try and explain. UBI is about creating an unconditional floor no one can fall beneath that lifts everyone in the economy away from the $0 point. It is not meant as a job replacement.

Life in Singapore (243 cases, 0 deaths) has pretty much returned to normal. People are walking around, mostly without masks. Shops & restaurants are open. Big events & school activities such as tournaments were canceled, but schools remained open unless there was a case.

WORD TO THE WISE>> During this coronavirus crisis, keep an eye on every move of my old industry: health insurers. Behind the PR spin, they will be doing everything they can to deny care & maintain profits, while making it look like they’re heroes. Here’s what to look for: (1/10)

“@AndrewYang who also wasn’t included in the poll questionnaire, got support from 3 percent from voters who volunteered his name.” I cannot believe that pollsters are now leaving @AndrewYang off their polls. Use this as fuel to the fire #YangGang 🔥 — this is ridiculous!!!
