102 Covid+ patients, 2 PUIs.
5-6% asymptomatic positive rate, meaning for every 100 people there are 5-6 of us bouncing around infectious and don’t know it. This is broad community spread. I hear of so many at their work who don’t mask near colleagues-please protect others.

Broken heart syndrome doesn't just happen after a loved one or a pet dies. Medical treatments, job loss, and other major life stressors have been linked to the condition too. https://t.co/IdjBD1gd1m
The World Health Organization is halting its human trial of hydroxychloroquine, an antiviral drug used for malaria, due to concerns about lethal side effects, the organization announced Monday. More information: https://t.co/QwvNlETVei
One thing I try to do before the end of the semester is to let my undergrads (seniors) know that they are scientists. You're not learning to be, or waiting to be, but ARE a scientist. Someone had this chat with me in grad school & it changed my world. 1/
Congratulations to @MSUMCHHS #BearGrads from Dr. Mark Smith.

It is important to be careful what is said to the public regarding how to handle COVID-19 and associated decisions. If one is in the public eye, you have a bigger influence on the population that listens to “accidental comments” rather than to science. #BMS525
If we lived in the 1920s, I would not be saying I’m graduating from a university this week and applying to medical school. So thankful for all those women who fought for everything I can do today.
The FDA approved a new clinical trial to test hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, on hospitalized patients with COVID-19. https://t.co/2genOdQVdf
A 34% reduction of ovarian cancer and potentially other associated tumors has been found for those who have breastfed >12mo. Breastfeeding next to other modifications can prevent the high percentages of women suffering from ovarian cancer annually. #BMS525
@HannahCoffman39 Stated that the most common side effect is eye damage, what would be the pathway that causes this? Would the constant reduction of PICALM expression by chloroquine be the cause? And what kind of follow up studies have been done in affected patients?
With the sequencing and understanding of the CoV-19 spike host cell receptor interaction, it was found that CoV-19 has a high sequence similarity to SARS. These findings are leading researchers to possibly develop vaccines and drug inhibitors. #BMS525 https://t.co/UVPM7ShyjY
