For example, one is a metabolism disease (Type 2) and the other is an autoimmune disease (Type 1). The difference results in different risk profiles for severe or life-threatening covid. In one of the tweets, there is a screenshot of a graph from one of the research papers that shows the different odds ratios of dying from covid -- Type 1 diabetes has a much higher odds ratio than Type 2. </span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested to read the thread but thought I would send in case.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Here is a link to the thread:</span><a href="https://twitter.com/emmavaninwegen/status/1356583215675412480?s=27" style="text-decoration:none"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-skip:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">https://twitter.com/emmavaninwegen/status/1356583215675412480?s=27</span></a></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Here is the username and text of the first tweet in the thread: username: emmavaninwegen (@Emma van Inwegen) Tweeted: "Type2 diabetes is on the CDCs list of covid comorbidities but Type1 is not.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to our amazing discussions last summer, Accessibility Lunch will again become a reading group during spring semester. We’ll meet every Thursday from 1:30 to 2:30 Eastern Time at the Zoom link below. If you’d like to join and you aren’t
already subscribed, join the Accessibility Lunch email list as we won’t send announcements to HCII every week. We also welcome this message to be shared outside of HCII to anyone interested in accessibility, disability, and technology, but please do not post
the Zoom link publicly.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ll kick off the semester on February 4 by reading a review of accessibility research. The paper is attached. We’ll also take volunteers to lead discussion on future dates. Lead discussants email out their chosen reading the week prior
and then lead casual discussion of the reading during the next Accessibility Lunch.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
