#Covid19 has forced us to confront death on a scale that few of us have seen in our lifetimes. In today's episode of Making the call, @ZekeEmanuel & @pennprof discuss the bioethics of Physician Assisted Death, and how we want to die. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

ICYMI, I had a fantastic conversation with @ezraklein on his @voxdotcom podcast. At the end, he asked me to recommend three books that have influenced me, and I wanted to share them here as well. As a study on leadership, I recommend “Master of the Senate” by Robert Caro. 1/

W/ this Admin AWOL on providing clear direction, it’s been hard to decide what’s OK as we open up. There's no right answer; you just need to know the risks. So, @SaskiaPopescu, @DrPhillipsMD, and I developed a COVID-19 Risk Index. Please share this widely. ezekielemanuel.com/writing/a…

"With these institutions, we face this terrible irony. So many people who made the difficult decision to move a loved one into a nursing home so they can receive better care have now had to watch as these nursing homes turned into ground zero for a deadly pandemic." @pennprof
"[long-term planning] is a structural problem in the way we have created politics. And maybe we're going to have to change politics so that this focus on the present is not so important" @ZekeEmanuel on this week's Making the Call podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Over 1/3 of reported deaths in the US from Covid-19 have occurred in nursing homes, and it’s unfortunately not hard to guess why. In this episode of @MakeTheCallPod, we discuss with guest @DrJoanneLynn: How should we care for older people? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

In Taiwan today, kids go to school and the athletes are playing baseball. Meanwhile, the U.S. has 1,500X as many Covid-19 deaths as Taiwan per capita. What can we learn from them? We explore in @STATnews: statnews.com/2020/06/30/taiw… THREAD 1/4

Congrats to Oklahomans for voting to expand Medicaid. Their ordeal to get what ACA promised a 10 yrs ago shows that Medicaid should be a uniform, nat'l program so everyone is covered. Can be part of "grand bargain" with states as @RahmEmanuel and I wrote. nytimes.com/2020/06/15/opini…

Surgical masks are more effective than cloth face coverings. Other countries have produced enough for the public as well as for health care workers and have kept prices low or given them out free to the public. Why can't the United States do this?

Great advice from Zeke Emanuel from @MakeTheCallPod and @Morning_Joe: get outside for your mental health. @SumnerSaitz and I are walking and cycling everyday, too! 🚴 🚴‍♀️

"There are more than two million people locked up across the United States. Whatever they may have done to get there, they haven't been sentenced to death by virus." @pennprof #Covid19 Catch this week's episode of Making The Call
