A team led by Jeffrey Gordon, MD, developed a therapeutic food for malnourished children that boosts growth by supporting gut bacteria. A new study found one particular bacterium produces an enzyme with unexpected biological functions related to health. https://t.co/TmBNm1JFEj

🚨I wrote about what this surge is doing to the healthcare system.
It's bad.
Though less severe, Omicron is spreading quickly enough to inundate hospitals, which can't handle the strain cos so many healthcare workers had quit or are now sick. 1/

🚨I wrote about what Delta is doing to Missouri. Some hospitals have accrued as many COVID-19 patients in 5 weeks as they got in 5 months last year. Almost all those patients are unvaccinated. HCWs can't believe they're being overwhelmed *again*. 1/
