@Camiurzua @HPageMcAdams @JRadMD @kirschj @NASCISociety @DukeRadiology @RSNA @thoracicrad Thanks so much. Things look okay here. A lot of power outages but that’s all.

Not everyone has had Covid-19 and claiming it to be true @WSJ doesn't make it real.

RT if you know someone, or are someone who has never had Covid-19.

I’ve practiced peds with my heart & soul for 23yrs. My grown patients bring their babies to see me in droves. Reviews full of words like care, wisdom, dedication, trust, wonderful.

And I’m under performance review, for failure to click boxes.

What kind of doctors do we want?

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

COVID level: High

Business/Organization: No mask mandate, we are going by county guidelines

County: No mask mandate, we are going by state guidelines

State: No mask mandate, we are going by CDC guidelines

CDC: It’s up to local places to decide

Accountability: Zero

I would like the BA.1 boosters that are ready now, now please.

Moderna to make two different omicron boosters: one for US, another for UK, EU https://t.co/2p20Oh5Vwp

[independent physician @independentMDs]

A 3% physician reimbursement cut by CMS, coupled with sky high inflation, results in an effective 10-15% salary reduction in 2023. Healthcare heroes? Anyone?

Former colleague just telling spouse of a Google conference she recently attended. Vax required, PCR tests, N95s provided, many activities outdoors ... no flood of illnesses post conference reported (unlike other conferences.

Some #MedTwitter conferences could learn a thing or 2

People in Asian countries have been masking voluntarily for decades in order to protect their communities.

Why do white Westerners think that acting in the interests of public health is so impossible, when the majority of the world has been doing it for a long time?

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Paxlovid is an important backstop for Covid infections to prevent hospitalizations/deaths. But real world data now do not mimic the randomized clinical trials (during Delta wave) w/r to 5-day Rx being adequate in a high %. Possible explanation: higher viral load of BA.2/BA2.12.1

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

Biden administration needs to fight this decision, even if is was gearing up to make the same call in a couple of weeks. Accepting a precedent that says that @CDCgov or other agencies don't have the authority to enact mandates during a public health emergency is enormously scary.

[Lacey Washington MD @L_WashingtonMD]

@thehowie @SpeakerPelosi Is it that if you’re very rich, as she is, you almost can’t invest in equities any way other than in individual stocks? There might have to be an option for a blind trust for some members—but I can’t imagine why she’d oppose that.

[Lauren 🍁🇨🇦 Palliative CNS, MN @lauren_cns]

There are four nurses on my team. Three of us are off because our kids gave us covid. All not eligible for their second dose yet.
Tell me again how schools are safe and not a major source of transmission.
Not to mention the impact on patient care.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Our post omicron world:
1. Omicron goes down
2. It fails to produce herd immunity, durable protection
3. We’ll have 6 mo to vaccinate the world & prevent a new variant from emerging this summer
4. It may not resemble omicron
5. Vaccinating world in next 6 months = our best path

It's not too late
My editorial @ScienceMagazine today

The need for a single, consistent, and unified public message, to fix the profound data deficits, and have @HHSgov @SecBecerra step up

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

This supports what everyone's been seeing. With Omicron, ending isolation @ 5days without testing sends many people who are quite infectious out into the world.
Might be necessary in essential fields; might be safe if they all wore N95s for 5-7 more days. Otherwise, seems unwise.

@hemingwayrod @GYamey Anyone out there have an alternative to recommend for those of us with apparently big heads?
