Just leaving the ER.

It was a long day. And a stunning amount of Covid.

Today I worked in an area that was temporarily converted into a makeshift ICU during the first COVID wave.

Here’s what different from then.

And also what challenges we’re facing with this surge in NYC: 🧵

The mother of a friend was freaked out by potentially receiving the Astra Zeneca vaccine, in light of new stories about "blood clots". So I offered up some arguments for why I think she should still get it if offered. Thought I'd share my arguments with y'all here:

"The most challenging thing to deal with is the #anxiety I feel about not knowing what will happen."

Reflecting on some of the #MentalHealth challenges associated with #COVID19, Registered Nurse Eden Go says #SelfCare—and time w/ her 🐶—is key to finding balance. #BellLetsTalk

I've been wanting to write this thread for a while. It has been inspired by hearing a common thought: why can't people just "listen"? If people just followed the rules, we wouldn't be in this mess. I think this is oversimplification of the problem with COVID: 1/

What happens to a secret nobody remembers?

Does it cease to be?

There was something important I used to know.

Something that saved me, once.

Is it gone forever? 1/

Diversity is who is in the room.

Inclusion is who has influence in that room.

Anti-racism is a mindset, way of being, and goal for a group of people in a room.

These are not interchangeable terms.

Hallmarks of a lifelong learner:

Showing less interest in defending your beliefs than exploring your beliefs

Being less concerned about rationalizing your decisions than growing from your mistakes

Paying as much attention to where your critics are right as why they're wrong

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

I don't know who needs to hear this today but that thing you're certain of is probably more complicated than you think and you should consider the possibility that you might be wrong

Physical distancing has/is worked/working here. Will soon be time to move on to the next phase. #COVIDCanada

I've added a SARS-CoV2 timeline of exposure window/contagious window/symptoms with the major caveat of all of the current uncertainty as we learn more and more about this virus in real time. It now fits with the series I have below for seasonal pathogens we encounter. feedback?

3 behaviours to watch out for when making decisions during the #COVID19 pandemic, co-written with the great @ADetsky.

1. Denial of real events around you

2. Over-controlling your environment

3. Thirst for good news, at the peril of ignoring bad news
