@FedSoc

1/ The Capitol attack has led to a lot of soul-searching on the right -- including some behind-the-scenes drama and deliberation at the Federalist Society. Here's my take on how @FedSoc should respond to the events of January 6.

@chrislhayes

3/ Thanks to @chrislhayes for this kind mention of my Original Jurisdiction post about @FedSoc on @allinwithchris tonight, which he used as the jumping-off point for interviewing @GTConway3d about where conservatives go from here.

@apoorva_nyc

1/ Many hospital workers who shouldn’t be high-priority, such as young grad students who don’t see patients or work on #COVID19 research, are getting vaccinated ahead of more at-risk groups, as @apoorva_nyc reports.

2/ I do think there’s an issue of individual ethics here. Even if you CAN get the #COVID19 vaccine because your hospital employer is being lazy about enforcing priorities, should you? (But I realize this is easy for me to say as someone with likely immunity.)

3/ There’s also a sliding scale of ethics here. I’m less troubled by a 73-year-old getting vaccinated today than a 23-year-old, since the former will soon be eligible anyway. #COVID #COVID #CovidVaccine

1/ I wonder if Donald Trump and his supporters will reconsider their antipathy toward #Section230 in light of recent events.

@parler_app

2/ As the controversy over the tech giants cracking down in @parler_app demonstrates, if Trump and his supporters want a free-for-all social media platform like Parler, that platform will want and need #Section230-type protection.

3/ Under #Section230 as it currently stands, Parler generally isn’t responsible, at least in a court of law, for third-party/user-generated content.

@nyulangone

1/ Nine months ago today (3/16), I was admitted to @nyulangone because I couldn’t breathe, thanks to what turned out to be #COVID19 (but we weren’t sure at the time — it was early in the #CoronavirusPandemic).

Text exchange with my husband Zach that day:

2/ My detailed texts are essentially like a diary of my #COVID19 hospital stay. More from March 16:

3/ At the time, I didn’t realize how bad #COVID19 would get for me. When I got the positive #COVID test result that night — from Dr. Luke O’Donnell, one of the many great doctors who treated me, God bless him — here’s what I texted Zach:

1/ It has been exactly 9 months since I started having #COVID19 symptoms, which eventually worsened to the point where I wound up in the hospital, then on a ventilator.

Many folks ask: how am I doing now? Here's an update (thread).

#COVID #coronavirus

@NYTimes

2/ I'm doing very well, thank you. I don't really have any of the long-term symptoms experienced by so many #LongCovid sufferers (as discussed in, for example, this recent @NYTimes piece by @PamBelluck).

@LATimes

3/ It took me a long time to get here. As I wrote in July for the @LATimes, recovery from #COVID19 "is not like switching a light on or off. It’s like a dimmer switch, where the light gets brighter, then darker, then brighter again."

@NYULangone

1/ ICYMI last week, this is a wonderful, heartwarming story about a #COVID19 survivor named Jeff Gerson who tracked down the 116 doctors and nurses at @NYULangone who saved his life, so he could thank them.

@NYULangone

2/ Jeff Gerson and I were at @NYULangone at the same time. I arrived on 3/16, he arrived on 3/18, and we both stayed several weeks.

We have other things in common too. Before getting hospitalized and intubated, we were relatively healthy, 44-year-old males.

@NYULangone

3/ I'm posting Jeff's eloquent and heartfelt letter here. I suspect that many of the 116 doctors and nurses who cared for him at @NYULangone cared for me as well.
