COVID-19: The Disease of Disinformation (Or: My Greatest Hits, Remastered)
Managing Health Expectations
A Hospitalist Sifts Through Disinformation
I'm Dr. Joseph Thomas. I am an M.D. and I work as a hospitalist in Western New York. I started writing long-form status updates on Facebook to sort through all the disinformation that was being bandied about regarding COVID-19. I needed a place to collect those posts, and I forgot how much I like regularly writing, even if it's not so much creative as it is exasperated. I'm going to try to be regular in my updates around my work schedule. Please get your vaccine, and for now, wear a mask indoors and in crowds - the pandemic is still ongoing.
