Really cool to hear our own @hollymicrobial present today at @OHSUSOM's Dept of Med #GrandRounds about research from her @CDCgov LEAP Fellowship year with the @OHAOregon on #COVID outbreaks in OR long-term care facilities.
Great example of physician engagement in public health!

[OHSU Infectious Diseases Division @OHSU_ID]

Cool example, also led by Dr. Varley, of basic research from an active clinical case & effective multi-institution collaboration!
TcsL (lethal toxin) is a critical virulence factor for severity of illness due to Paeniclostridium sordellii infection.

Another plea for ⁦@CMSGov⁩ (Medicare) to cover home IV antibiotics. Requiring an individual to go to a SNF who could otherwise go home is madness and particularly dangerous at a time when long term care facilities are struggling with COVID-19. https://t.co/hy4wRRmX6G

[IDSA @IDSAInfo]

As ID physicians on the front line of combating the current global crisis, we stand strongly against @POTUS's decision to leave @WHO. We will not succeed against this pandemic, or any future outbreak, unless we stand together, share information, and coordinate actions.

[IDSA @IDSAInfo]

The plan for distributing #remdesivir should be transparent and based on state and regional #COVID19 case data and hospitalization rates.

The cost of waste in the US health care system is an estimated $760-$935 billion, ~25% of total health care spending. Projected savings from interventions to reduce waste is an estimated $191-$282 billion, a potential 25% reduction in total cost https://t.co/Vw9LgKufkq
