@jameyedwards @HIMSS @nickisnpdx @andrewintech @Colin_Hung @healthythinker @healthblawg @evankirstel @IrmaRaste @boltyboy @jessdamassa @JohnNosta I too heartily applaud @HIMSS for the very difficult and costly decision to cancel #HIMSS20. It's my hope that other events around the world will join in clamping down to minimize the spread of this disease. When it's over we can look back. /cont'd

@jameyedwards @HIMSS @nickisnpdx @andrewintech @Colin_Hung @healthythinker @healthblawg @evankirstel @IrmaRaste @boltyboy @jessdamassa @JohnNosta I have to say, cancelling conferences is a *bitch* for the speaker business. This year's gigs for me include Croatia (cancelled today), South Korea (oops), Milan (oops). /2

@jameyedwards @HIMSS @nickisnpdx @andrewintech @Colin_Hung @healthythinker @healthblawg @evankirstel @IrmaRaste @boltyboy @jessdamassa @JohnNosta But let me also say, it illustrates why science and strong #PublicHealth are so important. Without them we die defenseless, like the plague. Anyone who says they don't trust science has no right to take any medicine.

In any case, again, praise to @HIMSS leadership. 🙏🙌
