Read a beautiful thing this morning from the rabbi (Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky) who married us about how social distancing should be counteracted with special measures to avoid social isolation. I'm going to check on someone who is old or sick or alone today.

Progress:
Until 1846 all surgery had been performed w/o the help of anesthesia
More 20 yr old Americans today have a living grandmother than had a living mother in the yr 1900
The US has more trees today than it had in 1950
In 1900 the US high school graduation rate was 6%

Being born in America in 1900 gave you a 79% chance of living for five years.
Today, the five-year survival rate for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is 82%.
So just being a kid 1900 was riskier than having lymphoma is today.

When we were diagnosed with ALS, @sabrevaya and I cried. When we were done, she looked me in the eyes and said, "we will beat this." A lot has happened since that day and we are so grateful to @mollymhunter, @WillieGeist and @TODAYshow for sharing our story tomorrow.

URGENT: Friends, we're in need of a liver donor for our daughter Nusayba who has Stage 4 cancer. The surgery scheduled for 9/10 was cancelled b/c the surgeon found a last second complication with the donor who made all the arrangements. It’s a gut punch, but we’re hopeful...1/

A story worth sharing: Twelve years ago, Brian joined my first presidential campaign. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with ALS and launched @iamalsorg to find a cure. Brian and Sandra wake up every day believing that we can win this fight—and that makes me hopeful, too.
