Sunday #COVID19 thoughts 1) Hospitalists are asking where non-COVID admissions are that used to fill hospital wards- Averted? Unnecessary? Deteriorating? I’ve been working #ZSFG urgent care & cheering my colleagues doing primary care by telemedicine - we are worried as well

Hippocrates proclaimed that “walking is man’s best medicine.” The good doctor also knew that walking provided more than mere physical benefits when he suggested: “If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk”

A walk begins to carve out space between my thoughts that allows clarity to rise up through my shoes.

Proud of new paper in @JAMACardio today 1/4 of adults 36-64 yrs (31 million) are low SES- they have 2x risk of dying of heart disease vs higher SES Excess smoking, obesity, HTN, diabetes explain <half, suggesting important to focus on upstream poverty

Happy #LovingDay ! The day commemorates the June 12, 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia, declaring a Virginia law prohibiting mixed-race marriage unconstitutional — and thus legalizing interracial marriage in every state.
