Recent news about @RobertKennedyJr has put pork tapeworms in the spotlight. UCSF's Dr. @PCH_SF tells @sfchronicle: “It wouldn’t eat his brain. It’s just the body’s reaction to the presence of a foreign body. It’s like having a wood chip under your nail.” https://t.co/7lDJk39qzt

March 11 was the 4th anniversary of #COVID. Reflecting back, UCSF's Dr. @PCH_SF says understanding our interdependence is key to keeping communities safe: "Infections have no boundaries, they have no walls, so we all have to take care of each other." https://t.co/Z5OG3iEZ9l

Public has clearly "moved on" from Covid-19, per @pewresearch survey and described in @sfchronicle piece by @aidinvaziri. It's definitely not the threat is was, but its just as clearly still a threat. Quotes: me, @PCH_SF. https://t.co/yJaqHZy6jK

#COVID cases are down in California, but, “we’ve seen this story before,” UCSF's Dr. @PCH_SF tells @nytimes. "People get complacent & it comes back to a high level following Halloween & Thanksgiving." So, now is a good time to get #flu, #RSV & COVID shots. https://t.co/Xmho0vNhNT

Why is fatigue a hallmark of #LongCOVID? Research finds people with lingering symptoms have less morning cortisol, which helps get us "up & going," Dr. @PCH_SF tells @nytimes. He adds Covid may disrupt mitochondria, the "Energizer bunnies of our cells." https://t.co/oFtMAJScr3

#COVID hospitalizations are up but are "still a fraction of where we were in last winter & last summer (2022)," UCSF's Dr. @PCH_SF tells @ABC. Still "it is a siren call for the winter, when we have other things that cause people to go to hospital as well." https://t.co/e0ut8jr3Th

[UCSF Health @UCSFHospitals]

Why do some people find that #COVID disrupts their sleep? One theory: The virus may be interfering the hypothalamus—the part of the brain responsible for regulating sleep, UCSF's Dr. @PCH_SF tells @nytimes. He also has some tips on what to do about it: https://t.co/ngrwQS5R4M
