@CHEyork @KarlClaxton Interesting findings. This may go a long way to address some of the issues concerning the "generic paradox". Well Karl Claxton and your team of researchers.

@smerconish Hi Michael, I disagree with Prof Bhattacharya's general statement that covid-19 is a disease for the poor and minority. I live in Ghana and the situation here is entirely different. The poor don't wear the mask as often as the rich and the latter are less affected.

#GeorgeFloyd He died so BLACKS might live and live more abundantly. The incident that occurred last year happened for a reason. Policeman Chauvin (like Judas in the case of Jesus Christ) was just an instrument used. Forgive and forget Chauvin. BLACKS have WON.

@adherence_ispe In my part of the world financial barriers also affect adherence to treatment, especially poor people on antiretroviral therapy.

@adherence_ispe This patient-physician-health system although good, is not complete. I work with adolescents some of whom had HIV through vertical transmission. The questions some of them ask include why they should take medicines when it is no fault of theirs to have HIV. This affects adherence

@adherence_ispe They used the Elsevier Gold Standard to define their drug-drug interactions. I think this was good.

@adherence_ispe I realise that the EMR database that was used includes both prescription and OTC data. This is interesting to me because in my part of the world existing health databases do not include any information on OTC drugs. I want to know more about how this happens. #adherencejc

@adherence_ispe #adherencejc It's not 100% clear to me either what the difference between 1b and 1c. It sounds like we often combine them -- like by saying we'll measure adherence (implementation) over the 365 days after initiation using PDC. Perhaps an example would help?
