With the start of summer and the rising temperatures from #climatechange, remember to be on the lookout for #ticks when on the trails! You can even see this site for info and to submit photos of suspected ticks for verification: etick.ca #BChealthcare

There is nothing in life more certain than, when a patient says “this story will only take 30sec”, that it will definitely take longer than 30 seconds

More than 675,000 Americans. That is the official death toll from Covid-19 -- now more than during the 1918 flu. While the pop back then was 1/3 today, it was also a time when there were no life-saving vaccines. It seems we have learned so much, but accomplished so little.

I dig the Cochrane involvement “Based on the current very low‐ to low‐certainty evidence, we are uncertain about the efficacy and safety of ivermectin used to treat or prevent COVID‐19. The completed studies are small and few are considered high quality” cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…

Drunk driving kills 20K Americans a year. Imagine saying “Driving drunk is my personal choice. Wear a seatbelt & drive sober if you’re so worried.” Personal choices that have public consequences are public health issues. COVID killed 400K last year & 620K so far. Get vaccinated.

@SroSocial @gldivittorio Speaking as a doctor, that is nonsensical advice. If you get a bad infection, I won’t tell you to go home and boost your immune system, I’ll prescribe you antibiotics. If someone has a cold or flu around you, you tell them to cover their mouth (i.e. a very temporary mask)

@SroSocial @gldivittorio A mask will prevent viral spread far better than nonspecific vitamin and mineral diet supplementation, that’s why we wear masks and gowns etc. around virally infectious patients in the hospital, even before COVID.

@natetoh @gldivittorio just said it was better to bolster your body's resources in natural defense against the virus. More vitamins and minerals essentially in my diet. Not really sure how this is bad advice... I didn't contract the virus and then get told to start boosting my immune system... 🙃

@SroSocial @gldivittorio In general, a healthy immunocompetent person with a balanced diet will not be significantly improving their “immune system” with nonspecific “vitamins and minerals” against a novel viral pathogen. That’s what exposure or vaccination does, through antibody development.

@CypherK3 @SroSocial @gldivittorio Absolutely right you are. Point well taken. Further proof that the expert consensus of medical professions is a more reliable source of treatment advice for specific diseases than random people on Twitter (like myself)

@natetoh @SroSocial @gldivittorio Antibiotics don't work against viruses. They do of course against bacterial infections, but in the context of covid, your statement can be misleading. Sorry for being annoying, but I don't want people to get the impression they can just take antibiotics if they get covid.

Overheard (directly from a friend): “I’m 38weeks pregnant and in some sort of prolonged prodromal labour situation…but it still beats residency!”
