Appreciate this take. Most of my timeline features accomplishments and advice that feel impossible for a working parent. A nod to how hard it is resonates more than most content. Kudos to @nikillinit for the candor—you’re not alone, but many of us are too overwhelmed to post.

Running a company and having a baby is the hardest thing I’ve ever done and I have no idea how anyone is doing it

let alone with multiple kids or both partners running companies

On Jan 20, I will join the new White House team on a short term basis as Senior Advisor for COVID response.

These are relatively new plans. I will tweet separately about the great plans for some of the other things I have been working on while I do this.

It is absolutely true that incentives to systems are more complex and organizationally more difficult to change. But they have other advantages. Luckily we do not need to choose. We do need to worry about indep groups getting bought up

Telling a city that it is an emerging hotspot should not be a private conversation. It should be conveyed publicly so that all can see the data and can take responsible action. Please release these reports to all publicly https://t.co/boJXocPMqC

No he really doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He bases his views on COVID on science. As new science emerges, he may change his views, as he should. Undercutting one of the top federal scientists on COVID is a sad road to a worsening COVID crisis. https://t.co/ELrONfRuyG

Heading into 4th of July, leaders should celebrate and honor great American strength in science which has helped create great prosperity for the US. And should recognize, including publicly, that we’ll need best science and innovation to get us out of COVID national crisis./end

Its true we are still in middle of 1st wave of COVID infxns, but in 21 states that wave is rising quickly. In many of those places, while we have more diagnostic testing, there are substantially increasing #s of COVID pts in hosp.s and ICUs. Very concerning.

“Normal” is no longer going to be normal, at least for the foreseeable future. @AmeshAA talks about what to expect and when in the latest #COVID19 Q&A for @PublicHealthPod. https://t.co/zOWDKTHG4B

The biggest challenge facing hospitals right now isn't the lost revenue in recent months (which is, by all means, a significant challenge on its own).

The biggest challenge is a shift in the insurance landscape, that is already underway. A thread (1/9):

Thank you @smcdonaldMD for articulately and bravely speaking to a major issue: "Physicians don't talk about mental health issues. I don't know if any job is really that open about this. But I think medicine in general breeds a culture of silence about this."

Excellent work by former colleagues at @JHSPH_CHS with recommendations on adapting the US healthcare system during #COVID19. Their continued thoughtful analysis throughout the pandemic is a source of confidence and comfort 1/

Blocking this guidance makes no sense. It's what some of America's best public health experts think are the best strategies for minimizing #COVID19 infections in businesses, schools, churches, restaurants. This is exactly the kind of guidance needed https://t.co/m2oV3rmh0u

Hospitals and healthcare providers should not be suffering through a financial crisis in the midst of a public health crisis. 9/

[Sam Wollner @samwollner]

We must address the urgent challenges highlighted by @T_Inglesby, @AmeshAA, and team in the near-term. Over the long-term, we need broader adoption of new payment models that incentivize preparedness, resilience, and population health. 8/
