News is swirling about the #cancer risks of #aspartame and #dietsoda, so I sat down with @DominicDAgosti2 @USFHealthMed this week to dive beyond the headlines. The bottom line: water is always best, but diet soda is a better choice than regular. Watch our chat to hear why!

People seem to forget how viruses work! I you are positive you are infectious!

[Dr. Jacob Glanville @CurlyJungleJake]

I don’t understand why I keep hearing people say “viruses evolve to become milder.” That just isn’t how evolution works. Host populations develop heard immunity and select for resistance: this can make average infection more mild. But virus selects only for transmissibility

A week a go we just to have 50 positive cases a day, now we have 180 a day! Please be careful, please look out for your kids! Most of the cases are 18 and younger

@ErinBanco I work at my city health department, COVID unit, and I have only see breakthroughs when vaccines are more than 6 months or less tan two weeks boosted

Why you should #SwabYourThroat…. Negative via nose… Positive via the throat. #Omicron is very different from all other variants. We need to adapt to changing testing strategies.

P.s. This story made my day! 👇

Our sad reality

[Sean.j.callahan @CallahanPulm]

Outside ED attending transferring a COVID patient to our MICU: "He doesn't believe in COVID, but he'd like to be treated for it anyway."

This may be the best example I could give to illustrate why healthcare providers are burning out.

Entonces, cinco días de aislamiento si el resultado es positivo para COVID 19 cuando la persona sea asintomática o los síntomas mejoren y no haya fiebre durante 24 horas, después usar cubrebocas 5 días más.

[lixy❤ @barbari72]

So five days isolation for a positive case when asymptomatic or symptoms are improving without fever for 24 hrs, following that by wearing a mask 5 more days

Do you have a sore throat, a runny nose and muscle aches? It could be a common cold, a case of the flu -- or Covid-19.

[lixy❤ @barbari72]

@andreaheart19 I work for the COVID unit in my town and you are correct! I’ve seen people infected with COVID even with a third dose or booster
