A year ago, TABK asked our elected officials and @NYC_DOT for leading pedestrian intervals and sidewalk extensions at this specific intersection: Myrtle & N Portland Ave.

These traffic calming + visibility measures are simple and might've prevented the fatal crash this morning.

@iangoldsteinyes @CFF_GNYC I call BS on Aetna. There is no exception for self-funded plans. In fact the NY law applies to "every group or blanket policy delivered or issued for delivery in this state that provides coverage for prescription drugs."

[Laura Ball @LauraBallK]

@iangoldsteinyes @CFF_GNYC I’m going to call Compass. I’m also on an Aetna self-funded plan.

[Laura Ball @LauraBallK]

@iangoldsteinyes @CFF_GNYC Oh no! Why the exception for self-funded plans? Are you sure?

The @US_FDA has approved the use of Trikafta for children with CF ages 6 - 11 who have at least one copy of the F508del mutation or one copy of certain mutations. With this approval, about 1,500 children are eligible for a modulator for the first time. https://t.co/WMWm9BLHg6

People with CF need a vx distribution strategy that is aggressive, predictable and adheres to science & medicine. See what we asked the new Biden administration to do to help get shots in to the arms of people with CF as soon as possible. #CFadvocacy

How can President Biden begin to quickly implement a successful Federal plan to combat covid-19?

Public health expert @devisridhar: "I think it's one, about messaging and coherent messaging, but also coordinating state action towards a single target and single goal."
