@delta. Flight 782 slc-bos. Now over 2 hours stuck on tarmac at Logan after landing because of shortage of ground crew. Is this any way to run an airline?

[R Fernandopulle @rushika1]

@delta 782 Slc-bos. Landed early but told there are ground crew issues and need to wait now over an hour to deplane. What on earth is going on?

So sorry to hear of the tragic death of @TonyHsieh. Tony was a kind soul and true visionary, and a key part of Iora’s early history. We were fortunate to have Tony as an investor, a sponsor, and observer on our board. Rest in peace.

Again, big different between transactional telemedicine with random provider, and using telemedicine in the context of an established healing relationship

[Christina Farr @chrissyfarr]

Random q about telemedicine but I'd love to know the answer for future reference. What % would you say of overall patient care can be done online?

[R Fernandopulle @rushika1]

40% may be right for current version of telemedicine which is really tele-urgent care. We @iorahealth are finding that closer to 70% of our encounters can be perhaps better done remotely (largely by video); of course requires the right payment model, processes, tech, culture.

A great perspective of Iora's recently announced financing from our board member @greels1.   For all those birders who dabble in healthcare - you will particularly appreciate the end. https://t.co/eRLafzYTas

Might amazon go so far as to get into the provider space? #HealthyReturns
