4 years too early on this one
And the fancy math is really just a victim of GIGO with lipstick

And lastly (and yes these were all from 4 years ago). Clearly I did not listen to myself

Quick thoughts on the idea of there being a choice between lockdowns and dead bodies. I live in San Francisco. We had our first COVID cases here in early February. We have been conservative here, but hardly locked down. Restaurants have been open for outdoor dining. Bars now too
Gyms and salons recently reopened. Many workplaces are back at less than 100% capacity. Public schools have been closed but private schools have been opening since September
Life is fairly normal aside from the fact that people keep distanced & masked. When I'm out running, I leave my mask down & pull it up as I approach others. Invariably, they do the same. It has become something of a ritual. People are also pretty good about saying hi as well

4 years ago I was over-confident but nervous. Today I am just excited
Here is a thread from later in the day. It is interesting to see how the potential of Donald Trump as President was just a sick joke at that time. We now have the reality of the past 4 years. We will never get them back...

I don't have much else to say. Not that it will keep me from saying things from time to time throughout the day. Heck, I have to have something to laugh at in 4 years when I look back

Everyone calm down. This Suburban comes with negative pressure (obviously) Image
Also WTF is going on?
When I was a junior attending, I had a young patient with bad pulmonary hypertension who was on IV Flolan. She was getting super agitated about wanting to smoke a cigarette and was threatening to pull out her IV and leave AMA, so I wheeled her down to the smoking shelter myself

I've done a number of interviews this week about TREAT jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai….

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is:

"How do you explain that time-restricted eating worked for all those celebrities?"

I'm dead serious that I've been asked this (several times)
I usually remind the interviewer that TRE worked for me. I lost weight. But then I also remind that people tend to lose weight (in the short-term) doing a lot of things. It is one of the reasons we do randomized trials
But I have also taken to asking interviewers to imagine a scenario where we are testing a new weight loss strategy. It is called consistent meal timing (CMT). Here is a summary (taken directly from our paper):

1/ Today is Yom Kippur. Many Jewish people are fasting. I am not

But I still want to talk about fasting…
2/ Today we are finally publishing the results of a study on Time Restricted Eating (TRE), which is a form of intermittent fasting. The study is called the TREAT Study. More on that later…
3/ It is the culmination of 7+ years of interest in this topic that started with the publication of some fascinating papers from @SatchinPanda describing the benefits of time restricted feeding (TRF) in mice

I don't think there is a way I can watch this too many times
A little more color

Here's the thing about preexisting immunity. Does it magically just avoid prisons? ~2100 inmates were infected at San Quentin (~ 2/3 the population). I guess they just let the people with prior immunity to COVID go early?
