Last week, Illinois reported 15,415 cases in a single day, more than Florida ever did in a single day. This is despite Illinois' population being 40% lower. Many of you probably did not know the dire situation in Illinois. That's because no mainstream media chose to report it.

New pandemics change quickly, so we also need to be flexible and change our positions based on new evidence. Ex: Two months ago I thought having the general public wear masks was ridiculous, now I don't. It's not flip flopping, it's following the evidence. #COVID ー19

Ok besides toilet paper, what should I have at home for two weeks in order to not go crazy? I'm not talking literal essentials, I'm talking soul essentials. Any recommendations for board games, brands of wine, fancy bath salts, etc.? I'm planning a #treatyoselfquarantine

Totally agree. Whenever anyone mentions digital health, I’ve been asking—“well, what exactly is digital health to you?”

Big discussion at #JPM20 : Maybe we should sit down and define digital health. There’s too much variability and it’s confusing. E.g. wellness apps are being bucketed in the same category as an FDA-cleared medical wearable prescribed by doctors.

I'm very proud of my mom; she has a private therapy practice and changed her policy so that no one is charged if they cancel suddenly due to illness. The government is failing their #COVID19 response. Individuals need to make choices to stem this epidemic at a local level.

@hadip So why did the other couple get divorced? Or did you just want to disparage trans people?

I’m happy to announced that being self-employed has allowed me to go back to one of my original passions: getting angry with Twitter terfs ✌️

Happy Pride weekend! 🌈It was an honor and a privilege to write about Pauli Murray's life with @brianne_garrett . As Murray wrote: "Give me a song of kindness, and a country where I can live it."

@chrissyfarr I hope it's because people are recognizing that communication is a key part of the medical profession too!
