To everyone questioning the false positive and false negative rates: your point is well-taken, and it is the reason why it was necessary to push the FDA to allow non-CDC labs to perform COVID-19 testing based on a fast-tracked version of th

I'd be curious to know if (and to what extent) these observations change the mid- and long-term impact of global climate change. That is: does this mean that the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak effectively bought us additional runway before we hit

I can't express how concerning this letter is to me. Some of the steps they're taking to prevent further spread of the disease are so unorthodox that I'm not sure what to make of them. On the one hand, it suggests that the Ch

Your point is well-taken. I agree that such an upgrade is unlikely to be sold as a standalone product. What is more likely to happen is that it will be included for a nominal fee as an add-on to a new purchase or service agreement. To under

This is a thoughtful, well-researched article, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. My one criticism stems from the notion that the Taiwanese single-payer system is tantamount to "Medicare-for-all". Not only is th

Not too long ago I led a team that built data products using a massive dataset comprised of more than 6B medical claims. This included Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Two thoughts: 1) Trump is either bluffing or he doesn't h

The most valuable asset a doctor has is the trust of their patients. Not going to risk that for a half-baked product with lukewarm support from its developer and a weak endorsement from NPR. Even if this product could aggregate data from al
