Back on air reporting for @bbcmtd after nearly 5 months away as primary carer for my mother, who has Alzheimer’s. I have so much respect for all the carers out there and the amazing work you do. I’ll have your @avfc v @whufc report on BBC One at 18.45.
retweeting this because the policy & its language is spot on -- no hospital visitors and special arrangement for persons with mental health disorders such as #dementia w/acknowledgement of matters such a #delirium
"Dear Jason Karlawish, Thank you for submitting your ballot application online. The Philadelphia County Election Office received your application on Apr 10, 2020 at 7:30:43 AM...." Did this @ pavoterservices.pa.gov Deadline is 26 May 2020
Let’s talk about what happens if you get COVID19 and recover. Are you immune to the disease? How long does the immunity last? And what does that mean for your life and for the public health and economy of our society? 1/
So another NBA team, the LA LAKERS, announces that it tested all of its millionaires for the virus. This is a continuing outrage as each of those tests is one taken away from an EMT, a Doctor, a Nurse, a seriously ill woman or man. Sports reporters need to wake up to this
Words matter. A disease's name frames how we think & so our behavior. #COVID19 is a pandemic. "Pan" means everyone/everywhere. US leaders who call it "KungFu Flu" & "Chinese Virus" thwart the collective action a pandemic demands. United we stand; divided we fall down dead.
The most important article you’ll read today. Lesson: don’t be America’s #Patient31 graphics.reuters.com/CHINA-HEALTH-S…
So you think you have the new coronavirus. What should you do now? inquirer.com/health/coronav… via @PhillyInquirer
Serious question. If we started a letter writing campaign for those who cannot receive in-person visitors, would that still be considered a contamination concern? Do we know how long the virus lingers on cards and letters? Just want our veterans to know that we still care!

via @nytimes. “free virus testing including for those who lack insurance,” Good! But, sadly why is “including those who lack insurance” needed? #coronavirus displays flaws in our ability to provide healthcare. @SteveJoffe @emily_a_largent nytimes.com/2020/03/13/wor…
Rome has canceled Catholic Masses. Should U.S. churches follow suit? In my experience as a former religion reporter, the majority of church goers are over 60, putting them at high risk.
About 6% of people 60 or older infected with #Covid_19 die, according to data we have so far; that’s over six times the fatality rate for elderly people infected with the flu. Understanding the coronavirus outbreak in 9 charts: bit.ly/33eZNiK
"Even if you’re young and healthy, it’s your job to follow social distancing to avoid spreading #coronavirus to others and keep the epidemic in slow motion." "That means my mom and your mom will have a hospital bed if they need it.” #FlattenTheCurve vox.com/platform/amp/2…
If you’re wondering whether it’s an overreaction to cancel large gatherings and public events (and I love basketball), here’s a useful primer as to why these measures can slow the spread of the virus and save lives. We have to look out for each other. vox.com/2020/3/10/2117…
My heart is shattered. B Smith has been a great supporter to the Black Deaf Community. She granted me her space in Harlem a few times for fundraisers and have donated gift certificates to dine at her restaurant on 47th Street in Times Square. RIP, B. 🙏🏽😔people.com/food/b-smith-d…
'She was more than just a part of our lives – she was central to our lives.' Married for over 60 years, Jim cared for wife Joan after she was diagnosed with dementia in 2011. Read how a set of homemade figurines helped Joan reconnect with her loved ones. bit.ly/347mMLz
Daylight Saving ends SUN 11/3. That’s when we turn our clocks back 1 hour. If you are caring for someone living w/ #Alzheimers #dementia, it can be complicated. This is especially true if your loved one suffers from symptoms of “sundowning.” SOME TIPS: bit.ly/2JjEVOE

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” What matters is that we can still #FlattenTheCurve. Let's take care of each other and be laser focused on the tasks in front of us.
I despair at some peoples attitude to #COVID19: 'who cares, only older & unhealthy people are going to die'. That's family members, friends, colleagues. People who are loved; caring for/supporting others; contributing to the economy. Show some humanity. Take some responsibility

Congratulations to current @AbingtonHigh student and future great @Penn_Memory Alzheimer's researcher Sofiya on this achievement!
She's a junior in high school and the TOP winner in the state in the Google Science Fair! Her idea would help make treatment for diseases like Parkinson's & Alzheimer's less invasive and more cost-effective. @KScott6abc has her story, coming up on Action News Mornings
When you watch morning sports talk shows—ESPN, FSN, whatever—you notice how many different American accents you hear in the discussions, all the regional voices and vocabularies, Whitman’s “varied carols.” Broadcast news—my business—has lost so much of that. And it’s a shame.
