Dr. Kelly Sennholz: Giving steroids to people in respiratory distress is already best practice. A story coming out of China warned against giving steroids to people w/ COVID & for about 3 days we didn't, until we researched it. Then a "miracle drug" came out. Suspicious.

Nick Fish: I think we were all a little surprised by the Supreme Court decision today. Gorsuch in particular has been idiosyncratic about things, but he interpreted the law the way he said he does--which doesn't always happen. It's a gold star day for LGBT Americans
