Inside FDA's food failure >>>
My investigation into why FDA doesn't come anywhere near American consumers' expectations on food safety and nutrition.
Been working on this for months (or really, a decade?)

In non-Covid news (yes, there's some), @Oracle buying @Cerner is fascinating. cnbc.com/2021/12/20/oracle-t… EHR biz is no great shakes, yet millions of patients' health data is priceless.
The deal is Act 1 in a play by digital giants to buy these data – let the ethics questions begin!

Fabulous trial reduced loneliness, depression, and anxiety in Meals on Wheels participants who live alone over four weeks.
How? College volunteers w 2 hrs training simply called a roster of 6-9 folks 2-5X/week (elders' choice) to ask how they are.

Thought it was raining last night but it was just the sweet tears of private equity partners all across the country.
After years of being stymied by well-funded interests, Congress has agreed to ban one of the most costly and exasperating practices in medicine: surprise medical bills.

Here's a scientist who believed that time-restricted eating (eating in an 8-hour window each day) was helpful for weight loss.
He did a trial, and TRE wasn't any better than the control group.
He is shouting from the rooftops that his theory was wrong.
Science in action.

1/ As a state leader, you cannot hide from the virus.
What you can do is mandate masks, ramp up your testing, require symptomatic folks to isolate, and restrict large gatherings.
It has been 3 months since we launched covidexitstrategy.org and here's what we're seeing.

Thinking about the thing.
Talking about the thing.
Being inspired about the thing.
Sharing about the thing.
None of that is the same as DOING THE THING or BEING THE THING.
I know this. You know this.
Let's keep reminding ourselves real value requires stepping in the arena.

Many lessons here. Most notable to me: 1. PARTIAL SOLUTIONS DON'T WORK. Italy locked down only high risk areas ("red zones"), but it only facilitated spread as people fled lockdown areas. "Italy followed the spread rather than prevented it." Exactly what the US is doing.

Serology testing at-scale is a critical capability for recovery of our society and economy.
Just say YES. #serology #COVID19
The United States ignominiously botched testing for #COVID19. For Act II, will we try again by having no serology test plan?

- Doctors can email and video chat with patients in compliance with HIPAA
- Medicare and insurance co's quickly approving new reimbursement categories
What else?

this is what's most scary... if food supply chain infrastructure gets shut down due to coronavirus, we will enter a new phase of crisis. almost all food we eat goes through factories and/or warehouses...

NEW: All 36 BCBS plans and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program are expanding coverage for telehealth services, which includes waiving cost-sharing for all telehealth services for fully-insured members.

Our hospital floor is full and we need open beds for the imminent COVID surge.
But multiple patients of mine can’t leave the hospital because they’re awaiting prior auths from commercial insurers.
Insurance companies are clogging up the system in the middle of a damn pandemic.
