    This post from Olivia Munn is such a stark reminder ladies of why we need to be a lot more proactive about breast cancer. Munn tested negative for any of the genes known to be associated with increased risk. But a risk assessment score led to a biopsy, which led to a diagnosis.

    Crazy to look at San Francisco (pop. 880k) versus North Dakota (pop. 760k) right now. San Francisco county, an urban area where most people wear masks, has reported 14k Covid cases. North Dakota, which resisted mask mandates for months, has 60k cases.

    This is a ridiculous headline and I cannot believe this stuff is still being pushed on moms. Women who can breastfeed for longer tend to have higher paid jobs and can also afford educational opportunities for their kids.
    How long you breastfeed may impact your child’s test scores later, study shows | CNN

    After worrying about this a whole lot, it happened. My 10-month-old has Covid. Feeling for everyone getting this news right now for their unvaccinated infants. Stay safe.

    Wow. The Dr. Fauci of Germany (the virologist Christian Drosten) has a podcast called 'Das Coronavirus' where he discusses complex topics around Covid-19 and millions of people tune in. It's the #1 podcast. Locals are telling me this helped a lot with the response.

    I just postponed/cancelled my wedding. A really hard decision but safety of our guests comes first. And this health reporter will be following those CDC guidelines.😢

    Someone needs to write an article - preferably @TheAtlantic - about why there are so many *free* grand pianos on Facebook Marketplace and what that says about our culture (theories: no one has space, shift away from playing music to phones, changing aesthetics).

    We could fix a lot of problems if we divorced employment from health care - it makes zero sense!

    We had a virtual wedding on Zoom today. It worked out so much better than we expected. A super lovely way to mark the occasion 🥂

    Something is very wrong with health care when patients are going bankrupt, hospitals are in the red, doctors are unhappy, costs are going up, life spans are going down, innovators are struggling & Big health insurance seems to be the only group that is consistently doing well
