More than half (2000+) of incarcerated ppl at San Quentin are now infected with Covid. The sickest are in our ICUs and the COs (guards) keep testing positive for Covid, exposing HCWs and other patients. 3 COs per ventilated pt! Bay Area -- we need your help and advocacy!!

[John Landefeld @johnlandefeld]

@activist_doc Good luck! Also --- you've been on the front lines. Good primary care keeps people out of the ERs!

Thanks @BethGriffMD for sharing your expertise on political advocacy with a packed house at #CHEQ2019 @UCDavisMed !!

The middle-class model of health care in the U.S. assumes patients speak English, can read, have a home and a steady supply of food. In my #TEDMED talk, I discuss how we must be committed to patient-centered care for those living in poverty.

Great episode: Reframe AMA discharges as “opportunities to understand patients’ competing priorities.” By exploring these priorities, we destigmatize, build trust, and align around care plans. Demonstrated to me time & again by ⁦⁦⁦@azarimugs⁩ https://t.co/fkweUNqNFZ

A reminder that health care systems can be complicit in inhumane treatment of people experiencing homelessness and that doctors have an obligation to agitate for more housing and safe discharges. Courtesy @activist_doc https://t.co/sTXpPoRlJH

Colleagues: for conceptual clarity.
1) We have a gun violence public health problem. The # of gun suicides alone shows that. Some mass shootings also do.
2) El Paso was a white supremacist targeting Latinx. A terrorism problem. Diff. Dx; diff Rx. #GunControlNow #StopRacism

Low-tech ways to prevent 85% of the infections I have seen this year:

- Affordable housing
- Affordable dental care
- Foot care & access to diabetes meds
- Safer injection facilities and MAT

What else?

[John Landefeld @johnlandefeld]

@activist_doc Only 50 minutes? Impossible!!

[John Landefeld @johnlandefeld]

This is inhumane and cruel. Treating poverty as criminality in a city of unbelievable wealth. https://t.co/g2xDeFrUe3

[John Landefeld @johnlandefeld]

The unfathomable cruelty of our animal agriculture system, and the degree to which it is hidden from consumers, changed how I live. People like @BruceGFriedrich and @rachelbarge give me hope. https://t.co/PJVDdxpIIx

@MKushel @NationalCSP @UCSF @TalmadgeKing @UCSFNurse @MikeSteinman Congrats Margot!

@rabihmgeha @CPSolvers Did you step on a Tide Pod??

[Heidi Schultheis @H_Schultheis]

This week, don’t get swept up in feel-good stories about volunteers at soup kitchens and homeless shelters. People with mental illness who experience homelessness need policy change, not turkey, to access health care and housing and improve their lives. https://t.co/hOHlY4zKP3

My take on the class politics of the midterms: stopping reaction is good, but the Democrats’ growing dependence on the rich suburbs is bad
