The vaccine should be tested on politicians first. If they survive, the vaccine is safe. If they don't, then the country is safe.

THREAD - History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes: a thread about the **Anti-Mask League** of 1919. I'm not kidding I went HAM researching this So, starting in Sept 2018 San Francisco suffered from Spanish Flu pandemic. Initial mask wearing was good -- around 80 percent

Trump just ordered 500 million masks. It will take 18 months for them to be delivered. Which made me recall how shocked I was leaving the Administration's first congressional briefing on Coronavirus on Feb. 5. I tweeted this as I walked out.
Just left the Administration briefing on Coronavirus. Bottom line: they aren't taking this seriously enough. Notably, no request for ANY emergency funding, which is a big mistake. Local health systems need supplies, training, screening staff etc. And they need it now.

I have a really important message for you New York. Please share. Sadly I know a lot about disease-induced hysteria in NYC. This message is not to cause panic, but prevent it. 5 years ago, after treating patients in W Africa, I was diagnosed with Ebola & treated here in NYC. 1/

Why #COVID19 is far worse than flu? bartonview.blogspot.com/2020… TL,DR: 1. COVID19 is so infectious that it disabled Wuhan healthcare system within a week 2. The risk of losing healthcare system nationwide triggered Chinese quarantine/lock-down measures.

This Media Post will serve as a reminder that war powers reside in the Congress under the United States Constitution. And that you should read the War Powers Act. And that you’re not a dictator.
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!

The moment we all feared is likely upon us. An unstable President in way over his head, panicking, with all his experienced advisers having quit, and only the sycophantic amateurs remaining. Assassinating foreign leaders, announcing plans to bomb civilians. A nightmare.

Soleimani was an enemy of the United States. That’s not a question. The question is this - as reports suggest, did America just assassinate, without any congressional authorization, the second most powerful person in Iran, knowingly setting off a potential massive regional war?

So I'm helping a kid I know with some college applications and I have some thoughts. My friend has a GPA of over 4.0 and a star in track and cross-country. She grew up Black in a white rural town in CA--oh and she's homeless. She's living with a friend's family.

This is why med school is exhausting. Honestly the school work isn’t half as bad as having to interact with my privileged ass classmates and realizing everyday that that is not a space that was made for me. Feeling out of place + the difficulties of med school <<<<<<
