@mcuban I called out one of his lies on a post with supporting evidence and my account was canceled and I no longer had access to the platform (have to use a new one)

@tedcruz Can you please share the https://t.co/aF9KwcHlUT link to this spending that you're referencing so we can see the details?

[Ashlee Adams @ashlee]

@michaelmina_lab Thanks for helping to educate on this. What does that mean practically since the only option is bivalent booster with ancestral strain? Better to avoid booster and wait for improved ones, even if >6 months from last?

@brianschatz Public opinion shouldn't dictate public health. Universal masking was required because it's significantly more effective than one-way masking.

Risk differs when all mask vs only the most vulnerable mask.
If 2 ppl speaking a few ft apart & 1 has #COVID19:
👉1 in surg😷=90% odds of infection in 1/2 hr
👉1 in N95😷=20% odds in 1 hr
👉Both in surg😷=30% odds in 1 hr
👉Both in N95😷=0.4% odds in 1 hr

Inside FDA's food failure >>>

My investigation into why FDA doesn't come anywhere near American consumers' expectations on food safety and nutrition.

Been working on this for months (or really, a decade?)

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and read it here: https://t.co/UH1fjWRe6i

@bjfogg Incorporating more plants in the diet is great, but focusing on an exclusively plant-based diet is narrow and not a solution for which evidence is strong. Consider a broader framing that would be approachable to more people.

@halletecco @Bob_Wachter How are health systems rethinking triage protocols when there is a workforce/resource shortage?

Is there a role for health systems (govt? EMS?) to help train a "second tier" of community workers to help with basic emergency care when first responders & hospitals are overrun.

In non-Covid news (yes, there's some), @Oracle buying @Cerner is fascinating. https://t.co/7X61k6eesw EHR biz is no great shakes, yet millions of patients' health data is priceless.
The deal is Act 1 in a play by digital giants to buy these data – let the ethics questions begin!

[Ashlee Adams @ashlee]

@profshanecrotty Thanks for your insights. I haven't seen anyone talk about the efficacy of diagnostics and the variants. Are current tests just as accurate at detecting the variants?

Fabulous trial reduced loneliness, depression, and anxiety in Meals on Wheels participants who live alone over four weeks.

How? College volunteers w 2 hrs training simply called a roster of 6-9 folks 2-5X/week (elders' choice) to ask how they are.

Worth the read as you make decisions on protocols for seeing family & friends in a "bubble", sending kids back to school, heading back to work etc.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

“False sense of security”—high tech gathering of 49 tech thinkers was held in 4 day “bubble” without mask mandate after arrival+daily testing. Result? ~43% (21 of 49) of tech attendees got #COVID19 soon after, including organizer @PeterDiamandis. 0% of masked support staff. 🧵

Excellent (and heartbreaking) thread to understand the nuances of data we're seeing.

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

There is something funny happening with COVID hospitalizations

Proportion of COVID pts getting hospitalized falling

A lot

Just recently

My theory?

As hospitals fill up, bar for admission rising

A patient who might have been admitted 4 weeks ago may get sent home now

[Ashlee Adams @ashlee]

@profshanecrotty Thx for the informative thread. Do you know how safety during trials compares to long-term safety for vaccines generally? Any patterns for types of vaccines, trial speed/processes, etc. when trial data =/ safety years out?

[Ashlee Adams @ashlee]

Especially since there aren't any available hospital beds...

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

This is a very big deal -- enabling reimbursement for acute hospital care at home. And I'm proud of the @AriadneLabs team led by David Levine that helped make it possible.

[Ashlee Adams @ashlee]

@ashleymayer Especially when replying. You've had 3 opportunities (sender, signature, and my written closing) to see that it's Ashlee.
