So while of course #nCoV is a shock to the system in human and economic terms, it's not happening in the same economically precarious situation we were experiencing in 2008-09.

Ppl saying #nCoV wouldn't have spread like this in the US: In 2012 the US had 48,277 pertussis cases. We have a VAX for that. We also had a preventable 300,000 person outbreak of Cryptosporidium. Let's spend time fixing this bc we all have problems. #nCoV #RealityCheck #Science
A potentially new drug for #ncov may have been found. Zhejiang University research team found that the drugs Abidol and Darunavir were able to block the virus in preliminary in-vitro cell experiments.

🚨SIX WEEKS. Staggering.🚨
