This is all good. But can’t help thinking about the irony in it. In big parts the root cause is the inability to fill huge tech gaps the innovation of another US agency started: Internet protocols.
This live map of hospital and ICU capacity in Germany is amazing. In the US we are asking each hospital to send a daily email update. If we want to be better prepared for the next public health threat we’ll need to modernize. coronavis.dbvis.de/en/
I’m devastated to hear about the passing of my good friend and Kaiser Permanente Chairman and CEO Bernard Tyson. One of the only African-American CEO’s of a major company, Bernard played an important role in our community.

We all in Healthcare who believe Decentralized Computing Models (who we refer to today as "Blockchain technology") give hope to improve the US health system must make sure Peter Van Valkenburgh's great and nuanced testimony is hear…lnkd.in/gz5-iGYlnkd.in/gsyU956
If we can find like minded labs we can connect them together and build a Healthcare testnetwork (perhaps running the top 3 blockchain OSS) to provide the missing link: (quoting John Mattison) Minimum Viable Trust. From there we can…lnkd.in/gTc5dhblnkd.in/g_hPVdM
It's applaudable the Twitter revealed their bug. But it also shows the trust problem: consumers cannot validate if web apps really implement sound cryptographic practices or leave backdoors open. Time for the Blockchain approach! x.com/jack/status/9921434633…
We recently discovered a bug where account passwords were being written to an internal log before completing a masking/hashing process. We’ve fixed, see no indication of breach or misuse, and believe it’s important for us to be open about this internal defect. x.com/twittersupport/status/…
Nice (open source) list of Blockchain players in biology, medicine and health.
