The Trump administration's top health spokesman has deleted his personal account, after a string of late-night posts in which he appeared to call for tear-gassing reporters and used some salty language while arguing online.

(deleted earlier tweet in it w/ typo in description of Caputo's role)
Here are the tweets:
And, now gone:
HHS says: “Mr. Caputo is a critical, integral part of the President’s coronavirus response, leading on public messaging as Americans need public health information to defeat the Covid-19 pandemic."

These are astonishing results in weight loss. 24.% weight loss at 48 weeks. Average loss of 58 pounds. Blows out of the water everything else we've seen so far.

endpts.com/lillys-retatru…
For context: Every other weight loss drug we've seen is around 15%. Which was already awesome. This is 10pp higher than that.

The debate has been around "will the new pill versions wipe out the injections" and this just reset the conversation.
This drug is still in mid-stage testing. A lot could happen between now and then. And the market for these products will likely fragment based on how they're administered, how strong they are and the side effect profiles.

But also...wow.

ICMYI: Pandemic Prevention Institute CEO @RickABright will leave the institute he helped get off the ground after leaving the US gov. (@PPI_Insights)
Bright joined the institute to lead as CEO in March 2021 -- still hot in the middle of the pandemic, meaning his tenure spanned about 18mos.

The @RockefellerFdn funded it w/ $150M, per Oct. 2021 release:
rockefellerfoundation.org/news/the-rocke…
That's both 1) a lot of money and 2) not enough money on its own to build a massive, global surveillance/prevention network.

More than two years into the pandemic, how we measure Covid, how we think about risk + consequence, and how we react to the virus has changed.

The way we measure Covid-19 needs to change too.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Over the last several months, I spoke to dozens of disease modelers, epidemiologists and public health officials about what's changed, what they don't know, what they wish they knew, and how they think about what we've been through.

Our data on Covid-19 hospitalizations is too blunt. We lump in people hospitalized "with" Covid and people hospitalized "for" Covid. This is a complicated, fraught topic, but an important one.

Time to finally implement the "It costs $1 to send 1 tweet" business plan.
Reading tweets can be free.
Use the $1/sent tweet to get rid of ads. And no you can't get paid for your tweets.

Reporting in Kentucky hospitals, I saw a lot of covid patients. What are they like?

One man was in a high-flow oxygen mask. He was lying in bed, making tiny, fast bites at the air, gasping.

He looked like he was suffocating, like a dying fish washed up on the beach.
I saw other patients on ventilators. They're pale and sedated.

They look dead, until the ventilator pushes air into their lungs and their chest heaves upward. None of the looks natural, and it's very, very upsetting to watch.
I also saw patients on ECMO (heart-lung bypass). It can be a life-saving bridge to a lung transplant or recovery. About half of the patients die.

It is also not gentle -- the patients have a garden hose-sized tube in the jugular and another in the groin. Plus a half-dozen IVs.
