Kevin Cevasco MPH MBA @kcevWondering what's behind the concern about elderly and ill traveling? The ~2.3% average fatality rate doesn't convey the elevated risk to the elderly, and typical flu. Compare 20 vs 70 yr old risk below.#publichealth#business insider#publichealth#businessinsider pic.twitter.com/mM5hsI0afb1 reply 7 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -
I'd say that a virus, like
#COVID19, that has a case fatality rate between 4-15% in the over 60 age group is a pretty damned big deal.2 replies 11 retweets 46 likesShow this thread -

Oh, I’m not going anywhere for a few months.
#SSO2020 is postponed to August.#AACR20 is next month, and I’m not going. I still don’t know about#ASCO2020, which is late May.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Yeah not sure about may. I think March and April are a bust though.

I’ve been procrastinating trying to get a refund or credit for my airplane tickets to Boston because I just hate getting on the phone with those people. I definitely have to do it this week.

I figured. I also used miles to upgrade to Economy Comfort; I want my miles back too, even though it wasn’t a lot to do that.
