| 1628206942819872770 | @ProfEmilyOster Attn professors, read more reliable long Covid reports, like Harvard’s recent study that found 40% of 1900 nurses w/ SARS developed long Covid or GWU’s 36%. Conclusions drawing on who’s in your bubble are misleading. To baseline start w/ this letter https://t.co/bUF03cSElF | 9 |
