This paper is about #PartD & cancer. It is also about #pharmacoequity (shoutout @UREssien). Not the way we typically think about equity, though. This is about how screwed you are if you need cancer treatment and your treatment happens to be covered by #PartD and not #PartB. 2/7
Half of cancer drugs are covered by #PartD. Whether you get a pill versus infusion is based on your cancer type or subtype. For #breastcancer the preferred regimens for #HER2+ cancer are infused (#PartB); for HER2-, ER/PR+ cancer preferred regimens include a #PartD drug. 3/7

Connaissez-vous le syndrome #FoMo ? Il s'agit d'une anxiété sociale, caractérisée par la #peur constante de manquer une nouvelle importante. Cette peur est intimement liée à la #connection permanente 📱
On vous en parle plus en détail dans ce #thread, bonne lecture ! 👇 👀

#FoMo vient de l'anglais "fear of missing out", ou "peur de rater quelque chose". Ce concept a été popularisé par l’expert en marketing Dan Herman. Il traduit une peur de passer à côté du sujet à la mode, ou même de la série dont tout le monde parle ! 🗣
Le chercheur @ShuhBillSkee explique que ce syndrome touche particulièrement les personnes qui possèdent "des besoins psychologiques insatisfaits tels être aimé et respecté" 🥰
Here at the end of 2020, you might be wondering: who invented the best word of the year, namely "doomscrolling"?
Friends, it was me!
And, at the same time, it wasn't me!
Pull up a chair and hear how #doomscrolling came into existence

So, Saturday, March 14: my employer, the University of Michigan, had just that week made the call to cancel in-person classes, which felt apocalyptic---UM is known for *not* canceling class, even in the worst conditions, so the U pivoting to in-person was a big shoe to drop.
That morning, my partner and I were trawling through our social media, reporting to each other what had been cancelled, and we just kept refreshing---we were slack-jawed at what was happening, and just could not stop looking for the next big cancellation.
1/ Allow me to interrupt your #doomscrolling with some #Wisconsin #COVID news from today's @DHSWI update.
tl;dr: Every @wisgop legislator who has said that COVID is not a real and present threat the health and life of tens of thousands of us is a liar and/or an ignorant fraud.

2/ While today's 1672 new cases do not break a record, it is a top-ten day. All ten of those days have been since colleges, universities, and schools reopened in late August and early September. 
3/ Much has been made of the stories of WI cities and towns with universities leading the way. That is barely half the story. Most of the story is that much of Red Wisconsin, represented by the @wisgop, is not wearing their masks.

My pet peeve is when people blame "the media" for telling them about bad things happening. Unlike most people, we don't get to "unplug". I was offline for a day last weekend and it was amazing. But then I had to catch up on everything I missed, otherwise I'm not doing my job.
Which is totally fine; it's a stressful occupation and I love it! I just wish people wouldn't stereotype and scapegoat so much. It's exhausting to weigh each headline and sentence when writing a story, assuming that people will leap to odd conclusions unless we're very careful.
