Thank you @nytimes for highlighting our Eviction Diversion Program as a national model!
Diversion works. The vast majority of renters and landlords who completed mediation were able to reach an agreement that avoided eviction.

Read about how @ricardocasney's team vaccinated 16,000 dogs in an attempt to slow the Rabies epidemic in Arequipa, Peru. Both Rabies and Covid cases continue to climb in the city. Need to scale up these small vaccination kiosks quickly
Reggaeton, algorithms, and mobile clinics! I wrote about how one Penn epidemiologist and a team of dedicated field workers managed to vaccinate 16,000 dogs in Arequipa, Peru, against rabies -- during a global pandemic.

And here are numbers from #upenn. With 388 cases in isolation only 654 contacts quarantined. Either things are *highly* clustered or we're not quarantining fast enough. Not sure if variants have been detected. perhaps @RickBushman knows.

Looking forward to celebrating everything we missed simultaneously sometime in 2021.
there will be candy, prayers, sweet potatoes, presents, remembrances all at once. The best thing about everythingwemissedday: schools will be open.
Re Philly % positive calculations: Its a missing data problem. Some labs haven't yet reported negative tests. Thanks @PHLPublicHealth for explaining. They expect to be caught up in four days at which time the issue should be fixed.
fyi @PHLPublicHealth underreporting % positive. Why? Heres a screenshot for one day: 480 positive / 480+4324 negative ~=10% but site says 7.5%. All days seem to be off.

At today's Council meeting, I discussed the Housing Committee meeting yesterday and everything that's on the line as we consider amendments to the Emergency Housing Protection Act, and an extension of the eviction moratorium in particular. (thread)

A critical lesson I learned this year is that #housing is #healthcare.

This is not baseball, or golf, or tennis. As @nitanother points out the effects of even asymptomatic infections could be carrier-ending. Fans in the stands should be off the table.
