Some chicanery here. For instance, I also think it would be bad for India to import the ASTRA missile since the only known producer of the ASTRA missile is India. I also think it would be bad for India to import the “indigenous content” of the LCA Mk1 but how could it do so? https://t.co/aHrY2y1IM0

THREAD: Covid caused 338,000 diagnosed infections in kids. 86 tragically died, thousands more hospitalized. To compare burden to flu, an estimated 11.3 million kids got symptomatic flu in 2018-19, 477 died. If Covid became as widespread in kids as flu, outcomes could be grim. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/S6kw6ke4iT

A little thread on death counts. 🧵
— Caroline Chen (@CarolineYLChen) August 8, 2020
A lot of people like to argue about whether #COVID19 death counts are accurate. I get regular emails from people asking, are health depts counting motorcycle accidents as #coronavirus deaths if that person happened to be infected? etc.
1/ We are approaching a year since India's current Minister of Defence, in a clearly scripted speech, put a pretty big nail in the coffin of India's No First Use policy. It's still there. NFU is precisely a commitment to not use nukes first no matter what the circumstances. So... https://t.co/lWjBoV5gSi
