Editor-at-Large @Law360. All things appellate. My coverage: Say hello: [email protected]

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@nymetrowx Flakes officially falling on the UWS as of 2:40am

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

Hey #AppellateTwitter ! Jess is irreplaceable, but fwiw, our news sensibilities are similar (e.g. we agree demise of "passim" is fascinating). If you'd like to tell me about your practice, circuit splits, the best/worst of Latin legalese, etc, hit me up! [email protected]

[Jess Krochtengel @JessKroch]

A housekeeping note: today is my last with @Law360 . It's been an incredibly fun 11 years. I was never much of a tweeter, but I did enjoy eavesdropping here, especially on #appellatetwitter . Please hit up @JeffOverley with appellate news!

@nateraymond It's very smart of you, and coincidentally, my newest internal training workshop at my publication is about interviewing tips, and one of them is "if you feel woefully uninformed, one of the worst things you can do is pretend otherwise."

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@NateSilver538 Fwiw the same (understandable) concern came up at an FDA meeting last year and one of the agency's top vaccine officials said it's simply not a real problem >>> https://t.co/b6FdbdgyZN

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@j_henry2 hey sorry for delay, it's here if you're still looking: https://t.co/XyjyboEtdm

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

NEW: Federal judge (unsurprisingly) blocks Trump's "most favored nation" rule on drug prices, which would give the U.S. low prices relative to other wealthy countries.

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@JeffYoung Nice story. Ms. Stanerson's advice to slap people who refuse to wear masks is good and barely hyperbolic, it's long past time for anti-maskers to be condemned, not just called irresponsible.

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

For anyone wondering: Biden's HHS secretary pick, Xavier Becerra, pronounces his name like Javier (HAH-vee-air).

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@WrongHIPAA Hi WrongHIPAA, I'm a reporter working on a HIPAA story that will mention your account. I'm hoping to ask you a few questions, please DM me or email me at [email protected] if you have a sec. Thanks!

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@ZacharyBrennan @RxRegA motion to end this difficult debate by ditching both pronunciations and just saying Vacc-PAC =)

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

The case also asks Supreme Court to confirm that its recent June Medical decision (a partial win, at least, for abortion rights) eliminated a benefits-vs-burdens test for evaluating anti-abortion laws (thus allowing laws with few benefits, so long as they aren't too burdensome).

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban, nixed by an appeals court, is probably the most-watched abortion case that the Supreme Court could soon hear. The justices have now, for the third time since RBG died, rescheduled discussion of whether to hear it. https://t.co/RNfL3m5FyW

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

Rescheduling isn't very common. We don't know why it's happening, but there's a good chance that some justices are interested in hearing the case and are waiting for Barrett's confirmation to see what she thinks.

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@RxRegA @US_FDA I think I last watched an FDA hearing webcast on 11/9/16 (absurdly and bizarrely scheduled for the morning after the election!) and if the production value is even remotely similar nowadays we definitely need a better option.

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@madrid_mike Yep it was a national survey in July of nearly 1,300 compared to nearly 1,100 in today's survey. Link here to all the polls in screenshots: https://t.co/7hA8yfw13j

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@madrid_mike True but hasn't Quinnipiac had Biden performing a lot worse than other pollsters with Latinos? (see first screenshot from July). Also this 56-36 spread is much better for Biden than the 45-35 spread that Quinnipiac found in July (see second screenshot).

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

@pbreit @SarahKarlin It hasn't been disallowed (70K treated so far) and a downside some people see is that making plasma widely available has resulted in patients refusing to enroll in placebo-controlled trials that could've given us a sense by now of whether plasma works >>> https://t.co/b6OVbQgMMx

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

Giroir also said commercial labs are processing majority of tests within 3 days. Today I called CityMD, an urgent care chain that sends test samples to lab giant Quest. A recorded greeting says results are taking "on an average 10 days, at minimum 7 days."

[Jeff Overley @JeffOverley]

COVID testing czar Brett Giroir told reporters a few minutes ago "it's just not true" that 10-14 day waits for results are common. I had a test @NorthwellHealth - a hospital system in NYC with its own lab - on July 18 and am still waiting.

[Stephen Jury @stephenajury]

I had a Covid test on July 17th at Northwell Health. I still don’t have the results. What’s the point?
