If you only learn one thing about #COVID19 today make it this: everyone's job is to help FLATTEN THE CURVE.

https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/09-03-2020/the-three-phases-of-covid-19-and-how-we-can-make-it-manageable/

Here's a short blog post where I discuss a simple agent-based model (built in #netlogo) to illustrate how social distancing helps to flatten the curve, slow the spread, and reduce the impact of #COVIDー19. #FlattenTheCurve #coronavirus

💡 This is a thread about how to interpret the seemingly sudden appearance of #COVID19 across the much of the US in the past week with some back-of-the-envelop calculations for number of current infections. 1/13

One step more towards #OpenData and #OpenScience:

We call for collaborations to analyze 250M+ tweets about #COVID19. We will select up to 10 projects and provide the proponents with processed data to speed up the analysis.

Interested? 👉 https://t.co/yZucyxXLEz

Computational social scientists, data journalists, behavioral scientists, computer scientists & complexity scientists, to mention some, are more than welcome to apply.
We are convinced that good ideas are distributed better than the computing resources to realize them. #COVID19

The #COVID19 crisis could change the way we conduct our scientific lives, for better and for worse.

Anonymized mobile phone data can help curb #COVID19 by aiding efforts such as testing and tracing, bans on large gatherings and non-essential business closures, argue the authors of this @ScienceAdvances Editorial: https://t.co/PZIpaqXCN6

#Netsci2020 will be an online-only conference! Check the announcement below for more details. Highlights:
- 5 days Conference from Sept 21st to Sept 25th
- A few weeks to amend your abstract or submit a new one
- we will host a special #COVID19 session

Amazingly clear explanation of some common epidemiology terms we are seeing these days:

🦠 “If schools are reopened in areas with high levels of community transmission, major outbreaks are inevitable and deaths will occur in the community as a result."

This is one of the most succinct and best written short pieces on #herd_immunity, what it is and where we are heading with #COVID19.

If not comfortable with math, just get through the first sentences and it’s worth continuing the read: https://t.co/1F3MuQWkfc

Also, if not familiar with the authors, they include some of the very best of epidemiologists and mathematical thinkers in #infectious_diseases today.

📺 Italy 🇮🇹 was the first Western country to be heavily affected by #COVID19. The government & community, across all levels, reacted strongly & turned around the trajectory of the epidemic with a series of science-based measures. This video tells the story of 🇮🇹’s experience. https://t.co/ZjGNAuZnyl

📺 Anthony Fauci delivers a 48-minute lecture for an MIT #covid19 class, taking stock about what we now understand about the disease. https://t.co/6Bi4ILhCN4

💡 Say we develop a safe, effective #COVID19 vaccine. Then what?

💉 #COVID19 good news 👏

A study analysing 373,402 participants finds COVID-19 infections fell significantly after a single dose of the #OxfordVaccine or Pfizer jab.

Do you want to learn how #DataScience can help address urgent social problems such as #COVID19 (*AND* learn to code along the way)? All of the lectures from my "Data Science and Society" class at Duke University are now available here in 4k video here: https://t.co/E8JrCNQOP4

Study of a recent #covid19 outbreak in a restaurant of Guangzhou: after the analysis of video recordings of thousand of touches and close contacts, long range airborne transmission in a poorly ventilated space has been identified as the main cause.

Mathematical models continue to unpick #COVID19 to understand this pandemic & the next. When are COVID patients most infectious? As symptoms show?

Or before they show?
