Many thanks @Boris_Sanchez for hosting me on @CNNnewsroom this #Thanksgiving2020. How our nation acts in the coming weeks will determine if 500,000 Americans will lose their lives in the week or so after the inauguration vs 300,000 or somewhere in between 
The only we can keep the deaths down is to halt surges on our hospitals and ICUs to give our healthcare heroes a fighting chance to save lives. The only way to halt surges is to prevent indoor gatherings, maximize social distancing, face masks for next 2-3 months before vaccines
Today I said re: #SCOTUS ruling: "This is not about our religious freedom or civil liberties. This is about all hands on deck to save lives until we get everybody vaccinated. Human life is not cheap. That #SupremeCourt ruling devalues lives."
1/ Here's the latest chapter in my #COVID19 drama.
On Saturday, I tested POSITIVE on a #PCR test.
Was I reinfected?

2/ As some of you might recall, I had a brutal case of #COVID19 in the fall. I spent 17 days hospitalized at @NYULangone, including almost a week in the ICU on a ventilator.

3/ But the idea of having #COVID19 again surprised me, for a number of reasons.
First, reinfection is rare. And I was tested at the same time for #COVID antibodies, and I was still positive.

Are you planning to spend #Thanksgiving2020 with people outside your immediate household, despite advisement from state leaders and public health officials? #COVID19
Please don't go home for #Thanksgiving2020. But if you're already there, do dinner wisely. Here are our tips for limiting risk and keeping your loved ones safe. 🧵👇
Six feet apart isn't enough. Ten is better. Even further is even better. 2/5
No matter how far apart you are (but further is better!), opening a window to increase air exchange can help clear out aerosols. If it's chilly where you are, throw on your cutest autumnal sweater if needed. 3/5
Just in time for Thanksgiving, @Covirt19, an international COVID-19 research team that I'm fortunate to co-lead (cov-irt.org) along w/ @AfshinBeheshti , just launched a COVID-19 Exposure Assessment Tool. Download the interactive PDF here --> cov-irt.org/exposure-asses….
This simple-to-use nomogram allows users to estimate a group-wide relative exposure to SARS-CoV-2 associated with various activities. The tool facilitates understanding of the importance of factors that contribute to increased SARS-CoV-2 exposure and risk of infection.

The COVID-19 risk nomogram incorporates both scientific principles and recent findings regarding virus characteristics to assess relative exposure risk based on key mechanistic and epidemiological factors including:

‘I don’t think it will do that.’
Hancock says he doesn’t think allowing families to gather at Christmas will lead to deaths
We don’t care what @MattHancock thinks
We care what experts & scientists advise
Why hasn’t the govt published any #JBC minutes?

Since July, the UK’s #COVID19 response is run by the secretive #JointBiosecurityCentre
The #JBC doesn’t share the science that leads them to take decisions
They haven’t released any minutes in 7 months
This lack of transparency makes proper scrutiny of govt decisions difficult
