3/ And then the SARS and MERS epidemics. #HMGR
4/ "It is very likely that the four circulating coronaviruses very likely were once pandemics"
WHAT?!
#HMGR
WHAT?!
#HMGR
5/ Over 900,000 deaths ... and the USA in the worst hit country in the world. Over 190,000 deaths in the US alone #HMGR
6/ "This is a very telling slide"
Dr. Fauci goes over the failure of the United States to control our outbreak compared to the EU. The peaks were initially similar, but the US has a "disturbingly high" baseline.

7/ "An extraordinary unacceptable baseline"

Loss of smell and taste is very common and precedes the onset of respiratory symptoms.
There's an extraordinary range of disease severity. 15-20% have severe disease, with case-fatality rate ranging a lot. If you're ventilated, CFR ~20%

Two recommended therapies for COVID-19 -- remdesivir and dexamethasone, shown by RCTs to be effective.
What about convalescent plasma? "There's still a lot of questions about that"
