This is not a curve or a wave. It's a rocket. A straight vertical line.

If this is a bad COVID variant causing this, it will be prudent for all countries to help India with vaccines and raw materials for vaccines.

I'm not aware of the details. I just hope we do the right thing

"If you want above average results, you have to say no to average opportunities.

If you spend all of your time chasing average opportunities, you'll have no time for great ones. This applies to people, books, problems, etc.

Raise the bar."

Being stuck at home with Covid-19 has taught me that we need very little in life to make us happy, provided we have that frame of mind to enjoy whatever we have. @farnamstreet @shaneparrish

Similar to coverage, it’s important to care about price transparency. While there is lingering skepticism , sheer availability of prices will impact consumer decisions...the final frontier of value based care ⁦⁦⁦@HHSGov⁩ https://t.co/bkRwSRtTPn

Sobering write up by ⁦@ASlavitt⁩ ⁦@Farzad_MD⁩ on viability of independent provider practices. I know personally that some practices are losing $40-$60k/ mo. PPP loans covered only a few weeks losses (how long will they be able to sustain this?) https://t.co/IekjGaIx1f

2/2 Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic. #Cosmos, Part 11: @ The Persistence of Memory

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years 1/2

Another well written perspective by @sacjai @Forbes. A few ‘not’ unexpected lessons on my end; >Innovation takes time, though tech will reduce it exponentially; >1000s startups, none able to scale; >hospital business models are built over commercial reimbursements (so true now)

[Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA @sacjai]

My latest @Forbes post is a personal reflection on lessons learned so far trying to create change in healthcare. What are the unexpected lessons that you’ve learned?
