When I made the decision to step down from leading LDF, one of my principal concerns was abt our amazing staff. Knowing that they would be entrusted to the caring & thoughtful leadership of @JNelsonLDF was so impt to me. The Twitter staff deserved better from @jack & the board.

In retrospect, these two tweets may have been Elon's most visionary.

"Masking mandates were linked with significantly reduced numbers of Covid cases in schools.

Infection rates were lower among masked students — even in Boston’s public schools, where many buildings are old and lack good ventilation systems, classrooms are crowded and students are more often from at-risk communities — than among unmasked students attending newer schools in communities like Cambridge and Newton."

This is a major study on #health risks and dangers from COVID-19 reinfection:

McMaster University Medical Centre is diverting many urgent surgical pediatric patients to adult sites due to PICU, ED, and inpatient pressures on staff. Kids >16 and over 50 kg will be affected.

This is malpractice waiting to happen. Kids are not small adults. Peds surgery is a specialty for a reason. This is in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. #pediatrics #MedMastodon

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?

Depose Putin, replace him with Musk. Russia collapses overnight. Problem solved.
