1/ Another Friday evening, another moment to reflect. And mourn. And be angry beyond words. CDC COVID-VIEW comes out on Fridays. It’s a refreshing break from the amateur, uninformed epidemiology from so many sources. bit.ly/2XdezoQ

From the article “we detected SARS-CoV-2−reactive CD4+ T cells in ∼40-60% of unexposed individuals, suggesting cross-reactive T cell recognition between circulating ‘common cold’ coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2.” #Freehugs to anyone with 229E, OC43, HKU1 or NL63 variants!

THRILLED to announce Philter, our new tool to deidentify clinical text. Now more than ever, safe & responsible sharing of #EHR data is needed to fight pandemics & disease, but text is hardest to share. @BeauNorgeot built a new tool w/ a great team! go.nature.com/3cjv2wo

Add that COVID testing sites could release COVID results to patients who download the app. It would compel people to use it. People would still retain control about what is shared.

Possibly the most amazing success story fighting #coronavirus. This is how South Korea became a World leader in the virus storm: Testing, tracing, isolating. South Korea is so succesful it didnt even have to close the economy! 👍👍👍

Finally, contact tracing begins in earnest in the US. Massachusetts is first but other states must follow.

Really important article about Coronavirus data analysis from many countries. Key points: 1) apparent infectious rate ≠ actual rate (10x higher); 2) containment is required ASAP to blunt exponential growth; 3) Mortality ranges ~0.5-5% depending on healthcare delivery capacity

It took a village. New HHS rule ensures an app written once will run anywhere in the healthcare system. & patients can access a computable copy of their medical record. This journey began > a decade ago when @zakkohane and I proposed a health care API in the @NEJM @SMARTHealthIT
