I just uploaded a new blog post, "Worse and Worse" - Minor minions, the co-President, foreign policy, King Trump, lawsuits, demonstrations, and COVID-19 miscellany. It’s getting really hard to keep up.

My brand-new blog post is "Disaster Is Here." The new administration is moving so fast that I'm rushing this post, covering everything from spending freezes to RFK Jr, with COVID-19 bits for spice.

@ashishkjha @MartyMakary @DrOz @DrJBhattacharya Bhattacharya wrote the notorious Great Barrington declaration; Makary told Tucker Carson "“We don’t even know if any healthy child has ever died of covid.” As of February 2023, 1,460 American children 1-17 had died of COVID-19; 59% chronic conditions, like obesity and diabetes.

A new post at Stethoscope On Rome, Presidents Come, Presidents Go: treatment, prevention, ever more leap vs. leak, inequities, American specials, pandemic impacts, the future of American healthcare, and the state of the pandemic. Plus an extract from the audiobook of Dottoressa.

@SalvMattera I'm not sure whether you received my reply, asking where you got that 1 in 37 statistic, given that the data are now so unreliable. Based on hospitalization rates, a summer surge is on in both the US and Europe. And I'm really sorry about your long covid.

[Susan Levenstein @slevenstein]

@SalvMattera And I'm terribly sorry you're suffering from long covid, which can be a devastating condition (one of my patients has been 100% disabled from it since December 2020).

[Susan Levenstein @slevenstein]

@SalvMattera Can you please provide a reference for that 1 in 37 Americans? I can't find any reliable statistics of that kind, despite searching obsessively writing my blog https://t.co/hWxI1FCJ3T. Certainly covid is booming, in Europe too, based on hospitalizations etc.

A new blog post: "Fauci Testifies," is about treatment, prevention, the state of the pandemic, schools, inequities, medicine for profit and health, unwindings, and testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic... https://t.co/1eO3jmgMNP

@GidMK Re COVID-19 work I'd say not famous but infamous. And even his one infinitely influential article doesn't really hold up on rereading.

@DGlaucomflecken Classic medical student syndrome - when I was in med school I "had" everything from colon cancer to ALS.
