State officials have disputed the projections of the group at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, as has Samuel Scarpino, a professor in the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University.

Researchers at Northeastern University have found that adding an outer layer made from nylon stockings to a homemade face covering can boost its ability to filter out small particles in the air by creating a tighter seal between the mask and the wearer’s face. In some cases, that extra nylon layer helped homemade cloth masks […]

“Most people are trying to act in the best way they know how in the context of not knowing too much about a virus that’s killing a lot of people,” said Aziza Ahmed, professor of law at the Northeastern University School of Law and an expert on health law.

Wamai, a Kenyan expert on public health who leads a center for global health and disease research at Northeastern University, told TIME that Trump’s move could not have come at a worse time for public health in the global south.

Nada Sanders, a distinguished professor of supply chain management at Northeastern University, told CNN the supply chain for PPE is a “free-for-all.”

“The more accurately we know the percentage of individuals that are infected, the more specific we can be around the recommendations,” says Samuel Scarpino, who runs the Emergent Epidemics Lab at Northeastern University.

“If one state opens up— whatever that means—in a way that the other states are not ready to do, it could cause a catastrophe,” says Wendy Parmet, director of the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University. “The virus doesn’t pay a toll on the George Washington Bridge.”

“I hear a lot of companies saying, ‘Oh, this gave us a chance to experiment with remote work,’ ” says Barbara Larson, a management professor at Northeastern University. 

Samuel Scarpino, a professor in the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University, also takes issue with the University of Washington model, which he said has some built-in weaknesses.

Alessandro Vespignani, director of the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University, heads a team that has modeled the spread of Covid-19 and numerous previous pandemics.

Northeastern University has organized a task force to gather the lessons of this experience to “reimagine” the university. Stanford is convening “a recovery team to think through how we will manage the aftermath of this crisis and get our campus back to a new normal.”
