Thanks! I must say, though, that an extended hospital stay isn’t consistent with my normal regimen. I haven’t moisturized in 17 days - or, for that matter, showered/shaved! Can’t wait to get home, clean up. #coronavirus #COVID19 #coronaboy #LatsCovid19Journal
I asked a nurse here if there was a shower I could use. Her candor was great: “Yes, but... you’re so close to discharge, wouldn’t be you rather take a nice hot bath when you get home?” #coronavirus #COVID19 #coronaboy #LatsCovid19Journal #HospitalLife
She then offered me a bunch of wipes so I could sponge myself down that way, which I gratefully accepted. #coronavirus #COVID19 #coronaboy #LatsCovid19Journal #HospitalLife

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.

As i was coming back from our milk dairy, i saw a group of 12-15 people (men, women and kids) walking with theit belongings.....i went pass them and stopped my scooty to talk to them. My first thought was that they may be going back for lack of food....so Qn followed.. #Home
I asked if they are leaving for want of food.....pat came reply....nahin saab khana to mil raha hai....police ne aa kar diya....log bhi de rahe hain ...lekin kya karenge ....thekedar ne kaam se nikal diya hai...kuch aur kaam hai nahin......karenge kya ..... #Home
So my next Qn was naturally about their destination......and it turned out that they all were from same village in Bareilly.....and although i knew but still asked....how will u go then....saab kuch milega to theek..varna paidal pahunch jaayenge..... #Home

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied
