GUESS WHAT?! A new study has shown SARS-CoV-2 infection is DISTINCT from common respiratory viruses!

Unequivocally, COVID is NOT "just a cold."

These findings are HUGELY significant, for multiple reasons! Here's a breakdown of the study (written for a general audience)...

@saspist @mattyfred_ @BoyGeekDrone @MihaelaIrimia7 Quite sure it usually is in the US too. 🤷‍♀️

Always fun to start a new year with our amazing #FamilyMedicine residents @UMMC! 🥰

[Amoreena Howell, MD, MSPH, FAAFP @AHowellMD]

@DGlaucomflecken This is the ABSOLUTE BEST EVER! But also, agree with everyone else that it sounds like it would be pretty amazing… 😆😆😆

#SCOTUS will hear oral arguments on April 24 in a case that could limit emergency abortion care nationwide.

In Judaism, abortion is required when the life of the pregnant person is at stake.

We loudly & proudly say that abortion bans violate our religious freedom.

[SMFM @MySMFM]

Physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, genetic counselors, nurses, researchers, and other experts agree. #SCOTUS should protect access to #mifepristone. Commonly used in #abortion care and miscarriage management, #mife is essential healthcare.

And don’t ask a patient if they want you to wear one. If we have it on then go ahead and put one on. Colleagues, don’t ask other colleagues if you want us to wear a mask. If we have one on, then put it on. I don’t know how to answer that question but yes, I want you to put it on.

Make yourself happy AND feed people.

How much better does it get?!

Another contribution for team #FMvsFamine @HCWvsHunger!

I donated to Paul’s Place in Baltimore, which quite possibly saved the life of a patient recently. I’m so grateful they cared!

Definitely worth participation in #HCWvsHunger. 😄

We don’t hv a health care system.

We have a sick care system.

We don’t have a public health system.

We have a public sick system.

A fragmented fractured ruptured system that is NOT broken, but operating by design.

Glenn Youngkin is trying to trick voters and frame abortion bans as “limits” or “compromises.” No matter what language he tries to dress it up with, his 15-week ban IS STILL A BAN. 

“It is not compassionate, it is not reasonable—a ban is a ban.” @mintimm for @DeadlineWH:

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY: Hundreds of Jews and allies are holding an emergency sit-in, taking over the island to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. We refuse to allow a genocide to be carried out in our names. Ceasefire now to save lives! Never again for anyone! ⚠️

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

How many people have to die before world leaders wake up and call for a ceasefire?

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

Doctors Without Borders calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

People who are wounded and sick must be able to receive medical care, and medical facilities and personnel must be protected and respected.

There have been 566 mass shootings this year alone. We cannot normalize this. Congress must have the courage to act and save lives.
