Aggressive Action

 

The Biden administration has come out of the gate with a number of agressive measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

Will these meaures be effective? Are we too late?

Time will tell.

Deferred Care

 

The pandemic is causing a second crisis - deferred care.

Patients are hesitant to go to medical facilities and some facilities are limiting care, especially elective surgeries.

Not the providers' fault, not the patients' fault, but there will be a reckoning.

We need to begin addressing this soon.

Vaccination Follies

Getting enough doses to the states is going ok, but not great.

Finding enough people and places to get people registered and have someone push the plunger is moving very slowly.

This will get done, but not as fast as we would like.

For those of you coming nearer the top of the list, check every possible option within your range of easy travel.

Long Form Writing

 As the blog is restarted I will also be writing long form pieces;

See https://tomealey.substack.com

Many of the pieces will involve health care operations and policy.
