Amazing study, supporting droplet (rather than aerosol) as key means of transmission. One asymptomatic person infected 10 (out of 91) at restaurant—but *only* if they were in direct line of air pushed by the A/C. (Aerosol would have infected others, too). https://t.co/j8VXjnWtlN pic.twitter.com/w8yNENCT6M

Today was my last day at @denverpost after 5.5 years. I found out I was getting laid off while on assignment. I couldn’t cry, you can’t get masks wet and it’s dangerous to touch your face during this pandemic. Since then I’ve been going through a lot of emotions. A THREAD (1/17) pic.twitter.com/dQTeE6Rgq3

This #President is now truly getting out of control. In talking about “liberating” the states, he is using language that could well lead to rioting. No one has done more to undermine our constitution and destroy our country’s values than @realDonaldTrump.

This is not a replacement for staying home and physical distancing, but it is an important step for safety.
Donald Trump may not like it, but it's his responsibility to step up and lead our nation's testing strategy. Mass testing is key to reopening the economy and returning to some semblance of normalcy. https://t.co/AYmwnMmDB4

Why Biden should make a big play in Florida. The polling there isn't bad for him. He's likely ahead by a few. (It's no worse than PA & especially WI.) It's worth a ton of electoral votes. You want diverse geographic/demographic paths, which FL provides. https://t.co/IyM4OmBL8E

When people like Stephen Moore make comparisons to Ross Parks we should treat it as the cynical, calculated form of race baiting that it is. Enslavers said *they* were in fact the slaves. Segregationists adopted Civil Rights mvmt language to fight policies to help black people.
