Important to remember that #Covid-19 epidemic control measures may only delay cases, not prevent. However, this helps limit surge and gives hospitals time to prepare and manage. It's the difference between finding an ICU bed & ventilator or being treated in the parking lot tent.

@FedEx @fedexhelp doesn't care about children. You are doing nothing to get my daughter needed medicine misdirected to Indianapolis rather than NC. Yesterday, told it was on truck to the right city, but now found out it's still sitting in IN for 3 days. Unbelievable!!

Public Health was born of the political process. Many public health officials believe they must be apolitical. Now look where we are. Ignore politics at your peril. We need a new #PublicHealth movement. washingtonpost.com/health/2023/03…

Am I the only one who's been waiting >6 months for a @FrontierCorp fiber internet installation? Would love to hear everyone's story. From my perspective, they're doing a very poor job with the fiber rollout. Sadly, CS is of no help--despite many calls. @askfrontier

@DGlaucomflecken So true. PE's very metric of success differs from physician ownership, who don't exit when margins tighten. Slightly updated old joke: "How does a private equity group screw in a light bulb? They don't. They just smash the bulb & sell off the pieces."

Every physician who sells their practice to private equity is choosing to make health care worse for everybody. I hope the money helps you sleep at night, because you have made life worse for every single patient and employee walking into your PE Daddy’s practice.

The good news is my "flatten the curve" chart ranked #17. Bad news is @nytimes didn't credit me or my original tweet. If I'd known the impact, I would have put my name in the graphic, too. twitter.com/drewaharris/st… nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I guess that’s it…twitter no longer allows me to block senders of promoted content in the iPhone app. Yet, another reason to leave.

.⁦@paulkrugman⁩ citing my work made my day. He makes an important point: You can only #flattenthecurve for so long. China squandered time bought w/ harsh lockdowns. Should have prepared (vax, ICU beds, etc) for the inevitable surge after reopening. nytimes.com/2022/11/28/opi…

The vibe around Twitter tonight feels like folks standing in the rubble singing "Anatevka" as we ready to depart to faraway places. I'll be @DrewAHarris@Mastodon.Social or linktr.ee/drewaharris ... or still here? youtube.com/watch?v=RWiRet…

@TheAngryEpi Are there any studies confirming "immunity debt" in astronauts returning from long stays in ISS, scientists overwintering in Antartica, hermits, or that dome where they simulated long space trips? Seems we'd see something similar--if it existed.

@phlu @TempleCPH @TempleLaw @PHLR_Temple Congratulations & welcome to Philly! DM me if you're looking for any restaurant, etc. recommendations.

@IndictmentTime Cue the dancing mailboxes and hand out binkies to all the cry-babies. Humor and ridicule is a great antidote for all this rage. youtube.com/watch?v=IM57no…

#BREAKING: Domestic terrorist groups outside the election HQ in Maricopa County, AZ are calling and claiming that law enforcement are "evil traitors". Tensions are rising.

@AJentleson Rare example of a Democrat benefiting from the tendency of some R voters to equate inarticulateness w/ authenticity. "He's like me or people I know." E.g. GWB. Ds cringed/fretted because they equate eloquence w/ intelligence--a bias they think all voters have. Both are wrong.

Real courage.

@TuesdaysToomey @SenToomey Good news. I would have hated Mehmet Mondays.

YAAAAAAAAY! You guys, this victory was made possible by everyone who did the work over the past 6 years. If you joined us at a rally, RTed us, asked a friend to vote, called @sentoomey, canvassed, donated, talked to neighbors, wrote a letter to editor... THANK YOU!

@DamonMast @PhillyMayor @PHLCouncil @ccdphila @billy_penn Shame!

Telling the cold honest truth about Greg Abbott reveals the most compelling reasons to fire him. Watch this video.

@LWVPhilly Hey, LWV, my daughter's philly ballot was dropped in box a week ago but it still shows as "pending" with no "received" date in pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/ballottr…. If there was an error would it be on the "cure" list OR has no one even checked yet? I'm sure her's is not the only one.

Here is a link to check if there are errors to your ballot. Contact the county board of elections to make any changes. If the county will not allow the voter to fix the error, then you should go to your polling place on election day and ask for a provisional ballot.

The choice in these #MidtermElections2022 could not be clearer: Should America continue the path towards the kind of egalitarian multiracial, pluralistic democracy it has often promised, but actually never has been yet - or abandon that experiment altogether? 1/
