Excited to be sharing this research! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this work.

Important COVID-19 data to understand the potential for future outbreaks. Not even 10% in most localities/regions.

We’re proud to share that @thirtymadison, our parent company, is launching an online urgent care center for common conditions to make sure people can be treated safely from home. (1/5)
Hi everyone, my brother's telemedicine startup is launching a web app meant to "avoid the ER and get care from home" in the age of COVID-19. This will help keep the pressure off our hospitals. Best of all, it's FREE. Please RT/spread the word!

Unfortunately, I think the COVID-19 sphere depicted below will begin to dwarf its closest neighbors in the coming weeks/months. Let’s hope we can slow the growth before it starts looking more like the Spanish Flu.
Really beginning to understand that old quote: "There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen."
America, your government is incompetent. And this time, it really matters.

THREAD: On #Coronavirus, we may be entering a period of accelerating cases. The country could look very different over next two weeks. We’ll get through this, but need to take steps now to limit the scope and impact of virus. There are things we can do now to help ourselves. 1/n
Gates has been talking about this for years. Too bad none of the measures he mentions seem to have been implemented.

Pay attention to this.
Dizzying day on coronavirus front. It's been clear since last Friday--Iran, Italy, South Korean--that COVID-19 is not "very much under control" in U.S. or anywhere else. @kakape and I have story. Hello mitigation. Containment, so yesterday. sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/…
Pay attention to this.
Starting to feel like the #COVID19 outbreak has gone next level. statnews.com/2020/02/21/coro…
"Human dendrites are special."
Brains are amazing. Our lab demonstrates that single human layer 2/3 neurons can compute the XOR operation. Never seen before in any neuron in any other species. Out now in @sciencemagazine. Congrats Albert, Tim @mattlark @YiotaPoirazi & CO science.sciencemag.org/conte…
It seems not all neurons (even those from homologous brain regions) are created equally between species. More specifically, human dendrites appear to have unique computational abilities arising from calcium-mediated action potentials (see paper for details).
No, that's Lothlórien. Mandalorians are a microscopic lifeform that resides in all living cells - without them, we would have no knowledge of The Force.
Thank you @EvanSandhoefner for illustrating this fascinating concept, but I just wanted to address the elephant in the room. That there are 257 billion neurons in the elephant brain is impressive, but it's important to consider that not all neurons are equal.

Please check out the paper (from the lab of Dr. Suzana Herculano-Houzel, who pioneered some of the neuron-counting methods that make this possible) about the elephant brain here:

And please correct me if I got anything wrong!
