Why a SARS-CoV-2 variant that's 50% more transmissible would in general be a much bigger problem than a variant that's 50% more deadly. A short thread... 1/

BREAKING: Dr. Fauci has vaccinated Santa Claus. Because... #2020.
Santa Claus will be coming to town this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci says. “I took care of that for you,” he says. “…I took a trip up there to the North Pole; I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. I measured his level of immunity, and he is good to go.” #CNNSesameStreet

This is what graciousness looks like. It’ll take all of us to come back together again.
Wow. Every. Single. Word. Of. This. If you watch only one thing today, please make it this 4 minutes, and remember what America is all about.

Our character is on display in the moments when we declare victory and face defeat. Grace is celebrating a win without gloating and accepting a loss without complaining. Our choices today set the example for the next election—and the next generation.

The problem with the “ it was all a shitshow “ take on the #Debates2020 is that it ignores the real possibility it was a deliberate attempt to undermine democratic process. If you make everyone believe it’s pointless to listen/ vote / count when you are trailing - it’s job done.

The Postmaster General has spent months ripping out sorting machines, removing collection boxes, and prohibiting overtime. A promise to not make it any worse until after November 3 isn’t going to cut it. Not for voters. Not for veterans. And not for Americans who need the USPS.

I’m having trouble being productive and I can’t tell if it’s because I’m not getting enough sleep, or I’m not used to working from home, or because we don’t live in a society anymore

Here’s my promise to you: If I’m elected president, I will always choose to unite rather than divide. I’ll take responsibility instead of blaming others. I’ll never forget that the job isn’t about me — it’s about you.

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 150 Today, 150 days since I began my Covid tweets, I’m going to do something odd: write the speech that Trump should give. I have no faith he’ll do so, but it’s worth recognizing how little it would take to change course & save lives. Here goes:

A lesson it took me too long to learn: Liking someone does not mean you'll like working with them... or work well with them. When choosing collaborators, don't forget to consider how dependable they are—and whether they have different skills but similar values.

I expect that the longer this pandemic lasts the clearer it will become that ‘protecting lives’ and ‘protecting the economy’ are not alternatives. Those countries that do best in protecting lives will do best in protecting their economy.

13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!

We listen too much to people who think fast and shallow, and too little to people who think slow and deep. Being quick on their feet may make them sound smart, but it doesn’t mean they’re wise. #SaturdayThoughts
