Hi folks, I'm at high tide with work and symptoms acting like a three-year old. But I wanted to put this out to let folks know that the Amazon.Care service has closed. It is a little embarrassing for me. I had posted the episode in August and three weeks later the telehealth service began the process of shutting down. From what I can suss out, there were several reasons for the service going down, and I'm getting my information from the Washington Post newspaper, some of the industry publications, and I believe there was an actual internal memo from Amazon that was cited in some of the news reports. So this is just a quick informational update plus a little bit about my Twitter concerns.
