@ramit There is this great documentary about Penn State. One of the tragic elements of the story is seeing fans basically complain that the scandal impacted their enjoyment of watching football.

@ramit The odd thing is that both my dad and my stepmother's families had live-in help and SAHM's. One father sold furniture and the other was the town doctor. So what happened? Why do we expect to do everything ourselves? Is it cost of labor, or some kind of moral yardstick?

@ProfEmilyOster Must be nice for the professor to have a job where having 3 weeks of diarrhea is NBD.

@JanetheActuary @parismartineau Could be it’s the water the produced is washed in, rather than irrigation water, maybe?

[Dr. mamatastic @mamatastic]

@BirdieBittern Shame this article leaves people the idea that the symptoms can be traced back to a meal you had earlier that day. It takes much longer.

@dougboneparth Honestly I would accept a press conference by the doctors that are treating him. I feel like that used to be pretty standard stuff.

@greg_travis @UbakaOgbogu ….and that is because a bunch of these “flu like” symptoms are simply features of the body’s own immune response.

@iamkid_A Translation: today’s generation that doesn’t sit down to watch the Olympics, instead scroll short form videos on their phones.

@SkatingScores They dropped Nordic combined

@SketchesbyBoze no lies were spoken. it is SO GOOD. (I also like the 1940's movie, which captures the spirit of the book, if not the details)

@AlisonMotluk @KashPrime put another way: how to add up the acetaminophen dose, and timing, in all your OTC & prescription medicines

@KashPrime what rodent droppings look like, and how to clean them safely

As a physician working in Germany: this lunacy will have catastrophic consequences for all sides: patients and doctors -and businesses:
A) This will force patients to go to work when they should be staying home and resting, ultimately endangering themselves and others and prolonging recovery times - because it’s actually insane to demand from people with fever or diarrhea to actually physically go and see a doctor on the first day of their symptoms.
B) This is going to be an absolute nightmare for doctors and emergency departments.
There’s absolutely no capacity whatsoever in the German healthcare system for this utterly absurd legislation.

[Dr. mamatastic @mamatastic]

@clashreport Here’s a thought. Maybe instead of blaming people for being sick, you do something to reduce the number of people who get sick.

@Alan_Couzens @BiggestComeback As someone who has tough SIBO, salads can very much be the problem. Carnivore diet, then re-introducing vegetables was reasonable approach. Can’t eat everything now, but a lot more things are back on the menu.

@charise_lee How many members of Congress are missing right now?

[Dr. mamatastic @mamatastic]

@JeromeAdamsMD How could this be a flu outbreak, in mid summer???

[Dr. mamatastic @mamatastic]

@DaniMayakovski Flu vaccines wane in effectiveness over time, so if the army had vaccinated in the fall we would not expect those vaccines to still be protective in June. But I wonder if this is not a true flu outbreak, given it is June, and also the sheer number of soldiers affected?
