@CarlosdelRio7 @cvspharmacy @michaelmina_lab I’ve thought this about 100 times in the last week. Why haven’t we learned to plan ahead better at this point… I blame burnout

When your local @cvspharmacy has to post a sign like this outside the store you realize once again that our response to the pandemic has failed. Why can’t there be enough Rapid Tests available & affordable in the middle of a huge surge? @michaelmina_lab

Does convalescent plasma prevent #COVID19 hospitalization?
Great news: Our clinical trial shows #COVID19 convalescent plasma works to reduce hospitalizations by 54% when given within 9 days of symptoms.
Our findings are posted on @MedRxiv (medrxiv.org/content/10.110…).

Would you be ok w/ intermittent Ambisome (TIW) for treatment of C. Glabrata liver abscess to allow for hospital discharge? If so, what dose and why? @DHpharmd @Darcy_ID_doc @rgd_ucsd @AnnieC_ID_MD @DrLucyEHorton @lilhigal @UCSD_IDFellows @JL_IDpharm @IDstewardship

I’ve been off Twitter for a while so ya’ll might be discussing these things. But lots of good discussion points in here. What is the goal? theatlantic.com/health/archive…

@lilhigal @Darcy_ID_doc @AnnieC_ID_MD @kerlands @MonicaGandhi9 @DrBobOwens @SaraGianella I’m waiting to see the data. And the mandates should weigh the risk/benefit profile in this population

NEW: Only around one-third -- 34% -- of parents of 5- to 11-year-olds say that they will vaccinate their child as soon as a Covid-19 vaccine becomes available for that age group, according to new Kaiser Family Foundation Vaccine Monitor results published Thursday.

@dremilyportermd Terrible for not going with her to help her if she has a reaction. Like wow.

@dremilyportermd Wow can’t move past the part about how terrible her family is! This pandemic has really brought out the ugliness in us

I saw a pt who wants to get the vax but has a history of allergies (carries Epi-Pen). Her whole family is anti-vax & won’t go with her. She was in tears afraid she’ll die at the pharmacy. We scheduled her vaccine & yours truly will be there to hold her hand, getting my flu shot.

@Darcy_ID_doc @KatieRi83948815 Phew! Oh wait… now he wants the IV after all 🤦♀️ #classic #neveradullmoment

#IDDailyPearl c/o @KatieRi83948815.
Oral stepdown therapy for uncomplicated Strep bacteremia was highly effective with both FQs (93%) and B-lactams (92%) (retrospectively).
Ideally try to get 3 days of IV in beforehand (<3d = higher failure rate).

@saltylungs There are literally studies of keeping people awake and even walking around the ICU on the vent. Clearly not someone who has worked in an ICU (or even walked through one) in the last 10 years

If this virus is expected to be endemic, when do we end the disruptive policy of 2 week quarantines for positive cases? Is anyone tackling this question? Asking for a friend with two little kids in school hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/…

@KnoppRyan I appreciate your response. My question is what happens if I do get serious vaccine side effects? Are the pharmaceutical companies held responsible? If not how can I be MANDATED to take it? Doesn’t seem right to me.

Happy day for me. Several people I care a lot about got the COVID vaccine today, overcoming some hesitancy. What do I say to my patients who are unsure about the vaccine? This:

@littlewhitty These are reputable profession for what they do but believing all sorts of lies based on half-truths… unfortunately a lot of the public doesn’t realize this
English
@littlewhitty Making therapy decisions isn’t actually their wheelhouse.Critically evaluating the evidence isn’t something they have to do for their day to day role. Kinda like the Chiropractor “doctors” all over social media spreading misinformation.
English
@littlewhitty Huge respect for nurses for what they do. But at the end of the day, they are not trained in the role of critically evaluating the literature for treatment because that’s not their role. Prescribing is the role of the provider

@MonicaGandhi9 Thank you for your consistently rational, broad-view approach to thinking about this crisis from day 1! 👏👏👏 keep it coming

Harm reduction aims to decrease new infections just like strategies that don't involve harm reduction. But #harmreduction takes into account the actual real-world conditions of life (need for contact, for work, for school) when forming policy to mitigate a pathogen's effects.

@RachaelGPharmD That’s cus you’re awesome!! 👏 I’m not surprised
