For me, “trouble breathing” were the magic words; I remember gripping the ER admissions counter at @nyulangone because I couldn’t stand. They took me back immediately and put me on oxygen (and a few days later, intubated me). #coronavirus #COVID19 #Covid_19
Today marks two weeks at @nyulangone for me. It will probably be another few days before I’m released - but given how close I came to dying of #coronavirus (as a healthy 44-year-old), I’m not complaining. #CoronaVirusUpdate #COVID19 #Covid_19 #CoronavirusUSA
Thanks again to the people of many different faiths (or no faith at all) who sent healing thoughts and prayers and good wishes my way over these past few weeks; it means more to me than you’ll ever know. #coronavirus #CoronaUpdate #COVID19 #Covid_19

Not an #AprilFoolsDay Joke: after 17 days at @nyulangone, including 6 days on a ventilator, I’m being discharged! Here’s my final hospital bed selfie. #coronavirus #COVID19 #coronaboy #LatsCovid19Journal
Thanks to the #HealthcareHeroes here at @nyulangone who not only saved my life, but made a long hospitalization as pleasant as such an experience can be. #coronavirus #COVID19 #coronaboy #LatsCovid19Journal
Here at @nyulangone, a top academic hospital, they’re also engaging in research to help learn more about how to fight diseases like #coronavirus/#covid19; I’m participating in 2 studies. #coronaboy #LatsCovid19Journal

Cf. when my husband was contacted by @NYULangone for medical consent after I was intubated.

"Congratulations! David is eligible to be part of a special FDA drug trial - because he's experiencing life-threatening lung failure & hooked up to a ventilator."
Specifically (emphasis added): "You are agreeing to the emergency use of clazakizumab... based on a small number of patients who developed similar LIFE-THREATENING PULMONARY FAILURE [from] COVID-19."

#coronavirus #COVID19 #CoronaBoy #LatsCovid19Journal
"In these patients, a drug similar to clazakizumab showed promise as an effective treatment for PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY FAILURE WHO WERE LIKELY TO DIE."

He agreed; I got the drug (along w/tocilizumab).

These are very conscious choices. Before he was a Twitter star and @realDonaldTrump antagonist, @gtconway3d was known as one of the best brief writers at Wachtell Lipton.
When I was a junior associate and he was a partner, I drafted part of a brief for George. I fancied myself a good writer - I won a brief-writing prize at @YaleLawSch, served on @YaleLJournal, clerked for a top judge - but GTC made my draft ten times better.
More importantly, after the brief was filed George took the time to sit down with me and explain his edits - a master class in legal writing. And on some level I find that even more impressive.

Is a pregnant mother really eating for two?
Do babies have dietary needs inside the womb?

1) Do babies have dietary needs while in the womb?

Yes they do. During pregnancy, the mother’s body goes through numerous changes -physical and hormonal. Her health will be affected by the way the body is nourished during this period.
A healthy, balanced diet is necessary to help ensure you and your baby stay healthy throughout the pregnancy. The food you eat is your baby’s main source of nourishment, so it’s critical to consume foods that are rich in nutrients.

...and the Autumn Equinox; a time ancients believed held greatest danger of life-giving Sun leaving its course, not returning to Spring, so practiced magical rites to petition it.

Pure white light *minus* green (Nature) leaves magenta.

Hence why magenta chosen for "transgender"
"The Kabbalistic god..is an androgyne.

The ideal Kabbalistic form is a .. oxymoronic 'male androgyne,' with .. the #female [Nature, Love, Mother] being, at most, a temporary manifestation of the human/cosmic form to be #erased at the time of redemption."

If you wish to understand *why* you are noticing so many examples of reality and the truth seeming to be inverted, reversed, turned upside down, the "exact opposite" of what is presented, this is why.

The Matrix we live in, is run by Cabalist 'magicians'.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Remember
In Deuteronomy 8, Moses gave a very powerful speech. It was actually a Message. Moses told the children of Israel, and us by extension, in verse 2 to 'remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee'. #Remember
The greatest crime anyone of us will commit is to forget. We must #Remember all the way we were brought through because if we don't, we will misbehave and if we misbehave, we will suffer the consequences.
