New ICHE article finds that after universal masking, the major risk factors associated with COVID-19 infection among healthcare workers are residential area attacks rate and race. https://t.co/b1QNF6XG6G

POWERFUL:

📌Each marble = 1 death.

📌Each second of the video = 6 days.

Let this video sink in. #COVID19 is real. And it’s about to get even worse in December. An even bigger mortality tsunami is coming. 😢

@MassDPH As long as #facemasks are made available to the #public at a reasonable cost and easily obtained. I have seen masks selling from $10.00 per 50/box to $49.99 per 50/box. Mask compliance will improve if masks are available to all at a reasonable #price.

Yes there is #positive #news on the horizon in the #battle against the #coronavirus. #Vvaccines may be rolling out in the coming months yet, polling shows many still do not wish to be #vaccinated. We all must do our part. BTW, have you received your #FluVaccine? #VaccinesWork

.@smerconish @profgalloway Agree w many of your comments. Isn't it a bit too dangerous to have one company "Amazon" have all that data on one person w regard to #privacy #HIPPA and #databreach. Perhaps amazon needs a strong competitor? #medical #healthcare

@michaeltyyen Yes, there was. They use some excellent hair spray in that WH. #FlyOnPenceHead

6) Every single ICU patient (barring QTc issues) got hydroxychloroquine and it doesn’t seem to have helped. Maybe it helps for prophylaxis or in mild disease, but doesn’t appear to do anything once in ICU. It is NOT a pancea and should not be given indiscriminately. (7/10)

[Sanjum S. Sethi MD, MPH @sanjum]

5) My interest is in thrombosis and there is a definite hypercoagulable state associated with this illness. Anticoagulation is all over the place at different centers, but there is no randomized data yet to guide any of it (working on it) #COVID19 https://t.co/ZIxcSvfJiG (6/10)

3) We are forced to share dialysis circuits given the high percentage of renal failure (these people had normal kidneys before!) Why isn’t there more press for this fact? We need more machines to manage our patients effectively. @NYTHealth @WSJhealth #COVID19 (4/10)

[Sanjum S. Sethi MD, MPH @sanjum]

I don’t usually rant on social media. However, after a week of service in the ICU, I’d like to get a few things off my chest. #COVID19 (1/10)

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.

The #coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.

To protect yourself:
-keep 1m distance from others
-disinfect surfaces frequently
-wash/rub your 👐
-avoid touching your 👀👃👄

Nearly half of U.S. healthcare facilities are already out of, or will soon run out of respirators, per APIC survey of IPs. We are #RunningOnEmpty: https://t.co/U1jyGQb2bT. #GetMePPE

Good grief @realDonaldTrump #COVID19 is not the "Chinese Virus." Can't you check your bigotry @ the door 4 this #pandemic #NationalEmergency. Many will become sick & some will die but we are all humans! Please let the scientists speak #publichealth #coronavirus #CoronaVirusUpdate

.@CNN @alisyncamerota @NewDay You tried w @VP but you should have kept trying to get an answer. He danced & said "We have spun this thing," but all he spun was his answer. The @CDC website https://t.co/OQWxj0FHIf was reviewed "March 11, 2020." #NCIRD #PublicHealth #TalktoIPs
