A brilliant piece written by my good friend reflecting a day on the respiratory HDU during Covid 19 times. Poetic and poignant. Brought a tear to my eye.

Confirmation of Marburg virus in #Guinea. Response requires a concerted effort to prevent transmission and protect communities. @WHO colleagues have been in the field with local partners since first alerts emerged and will continue to provide all needed support.

These authors report a single-center review of 13 patients (median age, 15 years; 12 male) who, during a 3-month period, developed myopericarditis following the second dose of #COVID19vaccine. Median hospital stay was 2 days, no patient required intensive care, and all survived.

@CrisSuFe @dublinensis @gpollara @geraldineaohara @Dr_J_Underwood Definitely interesting to look at. We don’t use them routinely for the diagnosis of PJI currently.

In this multi-centre randomised control trial, time to positivity was not associated with mortality, except in Candida spp (longer times associated w/ worse outcomes), and possibly in Streptococci (shorter times associated w/ worse outcomes).

RECOVERY closes colchicine arm - no benefit in hospitalised COVID patients.

Disappointing, but nevertheless it advances our care of COVID patients. Full results to follow ASAP.

Still testing aspirin, MAb, baricitinib

Do you feel like no one hears you?

You may believe it is 'imposter phenomenon'

It could be 'testimonial injustice'

In the largest study of its kind (~35,000) @CCPUKstudy, South Asians in hospital with #COVID19 were 19% more likely to die. Higher rates of diabetes may explain part of this. All Ethnic Minority groups more likely to need intensive care and ventilation.
