Paxlovid is making a big difference in preventing hospitalizations, deaths

So who should get it?

There is some confusion out there

So let's clear it up with data

Bottom line?

If you're over 50 or have comorbid conditions

For you, benefits from Pax likely outweighs risks

As the monkeypox virus (MPX) outbreak continues, a lot of data emerging in real-time & being rapidly disseminated (as well as misinformation). I complied the unfolding scientific data (with direct links to papers and threads) on what we (don’t) know so far. #IDTwitter 🧵(1/n)

Hard to believe a public health agency is running a campaign to drive vaccination by scaring people about cost of seeking care. Is CDC unaware of gaps in our healthcare system that already leave many vulnerable Americans excessively exposed to the costs and consequences of Covid?

[Dr. Tara C. Smith @aetiology]

I haven't written much about omicron, because 1) there's a lot we still don't know; 2) others have written good shit that I've been RTing; and 3) I feel like I'm repeating myself from ...everything I've written before. But maybe a few words on what's concerning me right now. 🧵

.@ashishkjha answers a question on many people’s minds. How long to isolate if you test positive.

5 days plus a confirming quick test at the end is his answer and he explains why.

Biologic sex influences clinical outcomes from Covid infection. We need to understand the reason for these differences in Covid (and also study sex differences in all diseases). ⁦@drstaceyrosen⁩ ⁦@DrJMieres⁩ ⁦@KatzWomensHlth⁩ https://t.co/NJaSF2GsHc

When folks think about highly vaccinated places in America

They think Vermont or CT or MA

Those places are good

But not the most vaccinated place in America

So who's #1?

Puerto Rico!

But PR has gotten way too little attention

Its worth reflecting on how they did it

This deep look from @zeynep at who the unvaccinated really are is spectacularly good.

Eg: "The most powerful predictor of who remained unvaccinated was not age, politics, race, income or location, but the lack of health insurance."

Women have been treated by clinicians and scientists as if they were just like men with a “one size fits all” approach to clinical care. @drstaceyrosen, @DrJMieres and @NashBeth explain how sex matters in healthcare. #RaiseWomensHealth https://t.co/YUY5Rc7UkR

The damage #Covid has wrought to the fabric of life in the United States will take years to chart. But here's one effect that is already clear. As many as 140,000 children may have lost a parent or a grandparent caregiver, a new modeling study suggests. https://t.co/ULvTXldUZB
