There is apparently a shortage of 0 negative blood in the San Francisco Bay Area right now. Sadly, I know this because that is my son’s blood type and they are having to call around for units. If you are O negative please consider donating. My son cannot be the only one in need.

One of the biggest advocacy opportunities of the year has launched - FDA/CURE-ID's #LongCovid treatment survey!

There are many treatment surveys, but this one is special - the data will be used as evidence to help inform which drugs to study in clinical trials!

Explain to me how this TikTok’r gets it and “public health experts” don’t. MDs don’t.

Share widely on multiple platforms.

Shout out to @michael_hoerger for breaking through to the younger generation.

Posting this again because it's quite sobering.

A graph from Santa Clara Public health showing official COVID-19 cases overlaid with wastewater.

The two were hand-in-hand until testing ramped down.

This shows using official cases is NOT a true indicator of the state of COVID.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 wastewater data, we are currently in the second-biggest surge of the pandemic.

It will peak in the next week, with ~2 million infections per day. During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID.
