@DocPriyamMD What about older people who likely never got vaccinated? Do they need a vaccine now too, particularly if traveling?

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵 As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late. 👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags: 1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period. 2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER. 3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp. 👉How to actually stay safe? 1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend. 2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it. 3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it. 4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.

@AmbJapanUK Love this!!!

I grew up on the Beatles!🤗 Dream come true to visit The Beatles Story Museum!!🎶😍

@rainbowrowell I loved this run so much!! I’m so sad we aren’t getting more! Fingers crossed you get to write them again! Your Runaways have a special place in my heart 💚

@drseanmullen Can it be used overseas when traveling?

*** Don’t buy the knock off *** AirFanta Pro3 is NOT $90 on Amazon. It’s $159. The real ones are incredible purifiers. Everyone should own 2 & use them whenever you stay in a hotel. And pull out the added protection when someone is infected in the house. a.co/d/4ZvbWlB

@michael_hoerger Any data available for southern Europe/greece etc?

Transmission is high across much of France, but with significant regional variation in transmission patterns. Some regions that have had recent waves have rebounded to new heights or appear headed that way.

@rainbowrowell Depends on hotel? $7.50-$10 trousers and $3-5 underwear at Marriott/hilton type. More expensive hotels pricier. This from 4 years ago but prices may be a bit low: travelseason.com/hotels/hotel-l… Expensive NYC hotel much more than that: 1hotels.com/central-park/g…

@letraspal Omg Annie this is STUNNING

Brilliant, composed, untouchable — unless it’s me holding him. Then he’s just my Baz. #snowbaz

@txsalth2o I learned on the job 😭 there should be a class

No one prepared us for handling aging parents. There should be a class.

@rainbowrowell Michaels or Walmart

@rainbowrowell It was few pages of texts at a time. It worked for me and I think it set it off well from the email sections.

@rainbowrowell An example is Read Bottom Up by Neel Shah. It’s got email and text messages. Here’s a few pages of texts.

@rainbowrowell @people Such a great cover! Can’t wait!

@rainbowrowell Tomorrow!! 🍒🥰

@rainbowrowell THEY ARE BACK!!! YAY!!!

@rainbowrowell Stace? Staish?

@PargsP Is this clinic still active? I’m looking for one and I can drive to St. Louis

@LCinsomniac @healingfromlc @froglet80 In regard to your doctor saying insomnia isn’t necessarily a symptom of LC, I’m a patient at the Washington University Post Covid Clinic. At the first visit, we are given a very long checklist to complete. Researchers verify insomnia is a very common symptom of long Covid. 6/

@KellyMMeiners I’m so sorry that happened! What did mayo suggest?

It took a full year before I could look at my phone and realize how damaging that medical advice had been. At Mayo Clinic, I was diagnosed with Long C😷VID—top 1–2% in severity. I believe following that early advice directly contributed to my condition’s progression.

With so much attention given to Paul Garner’s N=1 Long COVID story, I’d like to share mine. @bmj_latest My credential and background: PT, MPT, PhD, ATC, CSCS. 1/10

@RackMask The gradient is lovely

I know we have a lot of masks that we haven't produced yet🙏, but we do need to wait for the production schedule. I want to ask, do you like the light blue and purple gradient color? If you like it, let me know.

@hollyrpeete @PBS I remember watching your dad on the show! He was wonderful!

My dad was the original Gordon on Sesame Street. I literally and figuratively grew up on this Street 💚💛He introduced the world to Big Bird and Mr. Hooper and Oscar and all the people in the neighborhood…Imagine a world where that never happened—because @PBS was defunded.🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

@rainbowrowell It was kind of a default term when I was growing up I think? Like Kleenex meaning tissue, even if you used Puffs or store brand? I still find myself saying magic marker.
