1/ I continue to get back into running—or jogging, more accurately. I went for a jog on four of the last six days.
2/ Lately I’ve been mixing up running and walking. I don’t go that far or that fast, but at least I’m exercising more regularly.
3/ I also did a little speed work, including trying to see how fast I can run a mile these days (answer: not very).
4/ I don’t know if I’ll ever run long distances or fast times again. But considering what a mess I was last year after my Covid hospitalization, I’m just glad to be back to covering at least 25 miles a week, which was my pre-pandemic practice. Yay!

1/ It's nice to have some good news about #COVID19 amidst all the bad news.

The latest good news: research suggests that folks who already had #COVID and then get vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine enjoy a "superhuman" immunity to Covid and related viruses.
2/ Here's an @NPR article about the latest research into what's known as "hybrid immunity," which immunologist @profshanecrotty describes as "impressively potent."

3/ This very strong immunity from natural infection plus vaccination—an immunity not just to #COVID19 but to certain other coronaviruses—is yet another reason to get #vaccinated even if you already had Covid.

I find this stat insane:

“Among unvaccinated workers who are not self-employed, about 7 in 10 say they would likely quit if their employer required them to be #vaccinated and did not grant a medical or religious exemption.”

2/ As many have noted (see, e.g., below), these folks could be (and probably are) bluffing.

But I’m still surprised that they would even say this to a pollster—as opposed to “fine by me, I’m vaccinated.”
3/ We are all getting really tired of the pandemic. But it’s far from over, as this article by @MitchKSmith and @juliebosman makes clear, with 1,500+ dying of #covid19 on most days of the week.

The Delta variant is very concerning as a public health matter. But if you’re vaccinated, you shouldn’t be freaking out, as @aaronecarroll explains in this @nytopinion piece.

If you are unvaccinated, please get vaccinated!

2/ We always knew there would be breakthrough cases, and there have been many (including two friends of mine). But only a minuscule percentage of breakthrough cases have caused severe illness or death.

3/ If you’re fully vaccinated but feel more comfortable staying at home once again, thanks to Delta, by all means do so. I wouldn’t criticize anyone for making that choice.

The important thing is you got vaccinated. Thank you.

1/ THREAD. Most people are vain. We think that people are up to date on what's going in our lives.

This is not the case. People are busy with their OWN lives.

But for anyone who cares (hi Mom!), here's...

The Current State of My Life, in 12 Tweets. David Lat (left), Zach Shem...
2/ A few recent messages from friends have reminded me that not everyone is up to date on what's going on with me (shocking, I know).

So I thought I'd write about all the recent changes in my life. Think of it as a holiday card update, except in July.
3/ HEALTH. I'm happy—and grateful—to be feeling good these days.

When I left @nyulangone on 4/1/20 after my 3-week #COVID19 ordeal, I feared I had suffered permanent damage—to my lungs, heart, or vocal cords (since my voice was shot from the ventilator). Receiving oxygen through a ...

Is anyone aware of research on the susceptibility to the Delta variant of people who had a natural infection of #COVID19 (seropositive) and then got fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine on top of that?

Asking for a friend.
Cc’ing @florian_krammer @DrTomFrieden @VirusesImmunity @apoorva_nyc who have been insightful in the past.
3/ Just went to @nyulangone to give blood for a research study I joined back in March 2020, when I was hospitalized there. I go there every few months to donate.

1/ An important update regarding the hiring as a #SCOTUS clerk of Jessica (Jessie) Garland, daughter of Attorney General Merrick Garland, by Justice Kagan.

From Patricia McCabe of the Supreme Court Public Information Office:
2/ I appended this to the end of my earlier thread, but since I really can't make heads or tails of why Twitter displays some of my tweets widely and others not at all, I'm tweeting it out this way too.
3/ The key points:

(a) Justice Kagan hired Jessica Garland BEFORE #MerrickGarland was AG (and before @JoeBiden was elected president.

(b) Jessie Garland won't clerk for Justice Kagan at #SCOTUS during Merrick Garland's tenure as AG.
