Welcome to the This Week in COVID newsletter!
A new life for an old newsletter!
Hi everyone!
This is Siyab (Dr. Siyab, MD) from TikTok. If you are receiving this newsletter in your email inbox it is because you once subscribed to the newsletter on my website ThisWeekInCovid.com. We now know COVID isn’t going anywhere any time soon; so I’m reviving my newsletter, only now I’m going to be doing it through this new newsletter on Substack!
I initially started the website back in the summer of 2021 in an effort to augment my TikTok content in the form of regular news updates on what was going on with COVID around the world. Unfortunately, work, life, and other commitments got in the way and I stopped updating the website or the newsletters.
I decided to start doing the newsletter and updates again for several reasons:
TikTok/Instagram are great, but there is just too much news that’s coming out, and I cannot reasonably share all of it on those platforms. This written newsletter allows me to try to do that.
We now know that COVID-19 isn’t going anywhere, and I know that moving forward there will be a continued need to fight misinformation and promote vaccines with science and evidence based medicine.
I chose Substack because this platform is MADE for people to have newsletters like these, and it just makes it easier to do so. I also know other people that have used this platform successfully.
My aim with this newsletter is to put out 2-3 posts a week with the latest updates with COVID-19, the pandemic, new therapies, and so on. I obviously won’t be able to talk about EVERY single piece of news, but this should still be a nice way to supplement my TikTok and IG content!
