Thank you for all you have been doing, & continue to do, to care & to serve during this pandemic. It hasn't been easy for anyone. We are grateful for the sacrifices that have been made, & to know that this, too, will pass. Help, & hope, is on the way! #CovidVaccine#frontlines
Is anyone saliva testing pediatric patients for #coronavirus? My heart hurts every time I have to perform a nasopharyngeal swab on a small child and they start crying.
There is ZERO doubt. There were 215,000 more US deaths March-July than baseline, 71% diagnosed as Covid deaths by their doctors. The others were undiagnosed Covid + increases in deaths from Covid-disrupted care. An effective US response would have prevented most of these deaths.
