Laughing here...

I am listening to the second 1/2 of the TBD Working Group Meeting as I write this note. (Was sleeping during the morning session.)

Pat Smith (President of LDA) is Kicking BIG Government Butt Right Now At the TBD Working Group Meeting! It's Wonderful!

[lol]

The members are now addressing the report from the Testing & Diagnostics Subcommittee , which was nothing more than what we already know (government BS), with bad solutions that keep us going with the current flow (unacceptable).

When it was over Pat let 'em have it! No one could have done better!

She is not intimadated by them and makes very strong points, kicks the right people and problems, and provides working solutions.

And this was not scripted like the reports were. It's off the top of her head. She is excellent "on her feet", something I could never do.

The meeting is being recorded and hopefully will be online at some point. I am not able to "see" the webinar, only to hear what is going on.

SUMMARY OF TBD WORKING GROUP REPORTS

I was asked by patients to summarize the reports. I said ok before I knew what I was getting into.

The first report was 166 pages long and extremely detailed and fully documented. I wasn't quite ready for all this, but I'm trying.

I've finished this first short summary, but have not gotten to the others yet. Hope to soon?

Please feel free to let me know your thoughts once you've read it.
