Viral gastroenteritis often leads to bothersome symptoms, with treatment being restricted.

However, diagnostic tools have improved to allow targeted treatment & interventions.

@2bangtan_cats @DrEricDing 14d of valacyclovir - this sounds like post-exposure prophylaxis for Macacine herpesvirus 1 (“B virus”) - symptoms can include conjunctivitis 🤔. 50 human cases and 21 deaths since 1932. #monkeys #Danville

@Mud_Fud @WFischerII @CCF_IMCHIEFS Thanks Dr. Wardrop - really enjoyed speaking with you today! I feel fortunate to learn every day from complex patients with uncommon & fascinating diagnoses, which really pushes you to grow as a trainee. Another reason to love CCF #IMRP !

On Nov. 5th, Honduras was hit by Hurricane Eta. Thousands have lost everything and are in desperate need of basic necessities. Please join me in supporting them in their time of need: https://t.co/VzBJUz7u4r

Bravo! ⁦@ClevelandClinic⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@GovMikeDeWine⁩ for setting strong example by taking #COVIDー19 seriously and acting early. Let’s hope this trend continues 🤞🏻#InThisTogetherOhio https://t.co/GFagOBzD4b

Let’s ask 3M to ramp-up production of reusable elastomeric respirators and P100 filters - a much more sustainable solution to #PPE shortages during #COVID19Pandemic , already endorsed by @CDCgov @NIOSH @US_FDA https://t.co/xRKa41agLV

Hot off the press - support for the use of facemasks to prevent onward spread: https://t.co/iPxcVDiLSU

While RNA does not necessarily = viable virus, could & should this change #PPE policy? Precautionary principle may now be more at odds with supply-chain reality.

One paper, pre-print, compelling nonetheless: “Taken together these results suggest that virus...may be transported by aerosol processes in their local environment, potentially even in the absence of cough or aerosol generating procedures.” https://t.co/G7yImnZPz5 #COVID19

"If you see this frequency of infections, everywhere you go in our community we have COVID-19."

We have created a new interactive feature on https://t.co/3lWx4IRScb. We are trying to be as transparent as possible. You can see more about county-level demographics.
