Dr. Fauci on US coronavirus contact tracing efforts:
"Even with identification, isolation and contact tracing, often the dots are not connected."
He says 50-70% of Americans reached by phone won't talk to contact tracers.
"That is what's not working."
Given the situation, I am going to use this as a channel to give factual info and suggestions on Covid19. I may fail, and if I do call me out on it.

Pence just held a briefing on COVID-19. A responsible person would have said pretty much the opposite. This is a danger.
Thanks @Farzad_MD for sharing
Protecting health is not getting in the way of economic recovery, it's the route to economic recovery. I discussed with @llerer why we must face the complex reality of the pandemic and how to stop the spread. nyti.ms/2YzHeVz
Thank you @nataliexdean This is great info!
THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST:
What does it mean that the median age of new cases is dropping in some areas? I see three possible explanations, not all good. A thread on how to distinguish between them. 1/10

We can still reduce the deaths from this disease.
-New therapies are being created/manufactured as are vaccines, but I worry not fast enough
-Masks reduce transmission
-Congress can make the resources a priority
-Paid family leave would be humane 23/
