The Friday Five – COVID Experts to Follow on Twitter

Mar 12, 2021 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | HIT Feed |

We’ve done the leg work for you and gone down the rabbit holes ourselves to compile a list of experts who are tweeting the latest news, information and opinions on COVID-19. This week’s Friday Five lists federal responders, physicians, university doctors and scientists who are sharing their thoughts and advice based on facts and data to inform their followers one tweet at a time.

5 Federal Responders

Andy Slavitt (@aslavitt46) – White House Senior Advisor, COVID Response

Biden team plots the country’s first national Covid testing strategy https://t.co/oefO48Dvki

— Andy Slavitt (@aslavitt46) March 7, 2021

White House COVID-19 Response Team (@WHCOVIDResponse) – The Biden-Harris White House COVID Response Team

WATCH NOW: This morning our public health experts are joined by Andy Slavitt to share updates on the science, the state of the pandemic, and the progress we’re making in our vaccination program. https://t.co/HdE30QOeoZ

— White House COVID-19 Response Team (@WHCOVIDResponse) March 10, 2021

Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH (@CDCDirector) – Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Today’s action represents an important first step and is based on the latest #COVID19 science. As the science evolves and more people get vaccinated, we will continue to provide more guidance to help fully vaccinated people safely resume more activities. https://t.co/nzGT15m7Lf

— Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH (@CDCDirector) March 8, 2021

Dr. Janet Woodcock (@DrWoodcockFDA) – Acting Commissioner of Food and Drugs

Today marks one year since the @WHO declared #COVID19 a pandemic. Although it’s a somber anniversary following a year of adversity and uncertainty, we’ve made critical progress. By the numbers, we have a lot to be hopeful about. pic.twitter.com/zQyOI3Dfoa

— Dr. Janet Woodcock (@DrWoodcockFDA) March 11, 2021

Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. (@NIHDirector) – Director of the National Institutes of Health

Clinical trials have shown that #mRNA #vaccines are remarkably safe and effective. But how well do they work in the real world? Good news from the immunization experience in Israel on my blog. #NIH https://t.co/Q8RGiMjpYM

— Francis S. Collins (@NIHDirector) March 9, 2021

5 Physicians on Twitter

Eric Feigl-Ding (@DrEricDing) – Epidemiologist, Health Economist and Senior Fellow at the FAS in Washington DC, and Chief Health Economist for Microclinic International.

We all laughed then… little did we know in a few years… reality hits us fast. #COVID19 https://t.co/mVZziWy3NF

— Eric Feigl-Ding (@DrEricDing) March 10, 2021

Eric Topol (@EricTopol) – Physician-Scientist, Author, Editor

Those 3 states where B.1.1.7 hasn’t been detected yet. The emphasis is yet. It’s there.
Continued hope this strain, on its way to dominance, will not lead to what has been seen in UK, Ireland, Israel, Portugal, and what is ongoing in Jordan, Central Europe, Italy pic.twitter.com/PbIlcJQIWx

— Eric Topol (@EricTopol) March 11, 2021

Megan Ranney MD MPH (@meganranney) – Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Assistant Dean for Digital Health Innovation, Director of the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health, Associate Professor of Health Services, Policy and Practice

There’s a Global Shortage of Medical Oxygen. #Covid19 makes it Worse. | ⁦@Craig_A_Spencer⁩ https://t.co/luFCibZQUx

— Megan Ranney MD MPH 🗽 (@meganranney) March 11, 2021

Dr. Sanjay Gupta (@drsanjaygupta) – Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Emory University Hospital; CNN Chief Medical Correspondent

As soon as the @CDCgov guidance on how #vaccinated people can gather came out earlier this week, I – like many of you – began to map out when I could reunite with my family. Here’s my thought process: https://t.co/q6AW61F47C

— Dr. Sanjay Gupta (@drsanjaygupta) March 10, 2021

Leana Wen, M.D. (@DrLeanaWen) – Visiting Professor at The Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University, ER physician, Contributing columnist for The Washington Post and CNN Medical Analyst

It’s absolutely the right decision to allow nursing home residents to have visitors. But doing so regardless of vaccination status, even of residents? That’s another missed opportunity to incentivize vaccination that can get all closer to herd immunity. https://t.co/VrrsThrJAX

— Leana Wen, M.D. (@DrLeanaWen) March 11, 2021

5 University Doctors/Scientists

Peter J. Hotez, MD, PhD (@PeterHotez) – Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and Professor of Pediatrics and Molecular Virology & Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine

A year with the coronavirus: How we got here | my comments in⁩ @TheHill with ⁦@PoliticsReid⁩ https://t.co/egXNYNvDHz

— Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD (@PeterHotez) March 11, 2021

Jonathan Reiner (@jreinermd) – Professor of Medicine and Surgery at The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences, Interventional Cardiologist and CNN Medical Analyst

What could go wrong? https://t.co/bvzhiKEn3s

— Jonathan Reiner (@JReinerMD) March 10, 2021

Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH (@ashishkjha) – Physician, Health Policy Researcher, and the third Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health

Year ago March 6, I met with John Nkengasong, head of Africa CDC in my Harvard Sq office

We talked COVID strategy for Africa

He was sending thousands of test kits across the continent

I half-jokingly asked he send some to us

He said he was worried about us. I said I was too pic.twitter.com/GjX7pEVQsB

— Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH (@ashishkjha) March 10, 2021

Craig Spencer MD MPH (@Craig_A_Spencer) – NYC ER doctor, Ebola Survivor, Director of Global Health in Emergency Medicine at Columbia University, Public Health Professor and Doctors Without Borders BoD

Here ⤵️ I reflect on the anniversary of the pandemic in NYC. Its hard to describe all the sadness healthcare workers saw this past year.

But theres reason for hope. Thankfully many of us are vaccinated against a disease we feared, bringing some comfort.https://t.co/rHNbl8ZyJP

— Craig Spencer MD MPH (@Craig_A_Spencer) March 6, 2021

Caitlin Rivers, PhD, MPH (@cmyeaton) – Infectious disease epidemiologist. Faculty at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security

Two new papers find large covid clusters in fitness facilities – including some examples in Hawaii where every single class attendee was infected. In Chicago, case study, 68%. Indoor gyms are going to be a no for me for a while yet. https://t.co/5SGaGY46vl pic.twitter.com/aEBA9kcv6g
