    We are about to land & I just wanted to say a few things. 1) people on this plane are scared/ shocked. 2) I have no idea why most of them are traveling. 3)I am with a group of 25 nurses and doctors who have been working in NYC hospitals for the past 2-4 weeks. We are coming home

    4) United flew us here for free. They got a lot of great PR for taking great care of us on the way out including from me. Even from me:

    And a whole group of people were there to greet us. It was not necessary but also very nice. Thank you @united. It meant a lot

    I don’t understand why people are so bothered by the fact that metabolic disease can be treated by medicines. It’s not that lifestyle solutions can’t work; they can! It’s that they don’t work for a very large number of people…
