In one word - yes!
Quality medical care can be reproduced in your environment, & home healthcare innovations ARE the solution to our healthcare burden. Those of you with loved ones you want to bring home - look no further than the first prompt in this piece, Healthcare at Home.

[Financial Express @FinancialXpress]

Are these Home healthcare innovations the solution to India’s healthcare burden? https://t.co/PCgZPQvVDK

[Rishad Premji @RishadPremji]

We absolutely must open schools. The damage of them staying closed is now worse then schools opening. Lots of lessons to take from other countries that have done this successfully.

My theory is that we will probably find out that the second dose may not be needed at all or needs to be delayed for 6 months or more.. first step towards that hypothesis

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

The considerable debate about whether delaying the 2nd vaccine dose was a risk: it may actually be a benefit
"Peak antibody levels were 3.5 times higher in those who waited 12 weeks for their booster shot than were those in people who waited only 3 weeks"

And there are politicians like R Lalzirliana, the power minister of #Mizoram, who was seen mopping the floor of the Covid ward where he is recovering after testing positive.

In these Covid centric tones this is potentially bigger than any medical news item if trials come thru...deserves a lot more publicity...Malaria vaccine hailed as potential breakthrough https://t.co/wTvUKZee9x

If you're looking for some good Covid news, turn to page 21 of today's FT:

The vaccines work, folks 💉💪🙌

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

In 1800, 43% of people died before the age of 5. Today, it's 4%.

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

Wadi g into the vaccine nationalism debate. I always find it very amusing how rich countries (US and Europe) lecture poorer countries in their commitment to humanity while turning a blind eye to what they are doing... cmon people this is not over till most of the world gets it!

[Gita Gopinath @GitaGopinath]

Here is a snapshot of the largest producers of vaccines. Much more supply is in the pipeline but all countries will need to share. It is essential to vaccinate the most vulnerable in the world *now* for the benefit of everyone. The pandemic is not over until it is over everywhere

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

To me any vaccine hesitation or resistance is criminal.. just get it if being offered...Covid vaccines cut risk of serious illness by 80% in over-80s https://t.co/BPho5j4oay

The company submits its vaccine to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use authorization.
Feb. 24, 2021: The FDA releases a 62-page review of the vaccine, which finds it safe and effective.

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

The company begins its Phase 3 trial for its Covid-19 vaccine candidate with the goal of including up to 60,000 participants.
Jan. 29, 2021: Johnson & Johnson releases preliminary data about its Phase 3 clinical trial.

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

Here’s how it came together:
Jan. 2020: Johnson & Johnson receives the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.
July 2020: Johnson & Johnson develops its single-shot Covid-19 vaccine candidate and begins early stage clinical trials.

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

The power of science.. The US Food and Drug Administration is on track to approve Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine sometime Friday, or possibly over the weekend, after releasing research on Wednesday that concluded the shot was effective.
It all happened in a little over a year.

Deeply embarrassing for the US. (And terrible for Brazil).

99%livestock in the US and 74% worldwide come from factory farms.. making them genetically identical enabling viruses to jump between animals without any genetic variants that might stop it!!

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

Just read something mind boggling..80 billion animals are killed for food yearly, who provide only 18%calories yet take up 80% of the earth’s farmland!

[Dr. Amit Varma @CcmAmit]

12 months out we are still discovering that this virus has different effects on different individuals, regions, race but still prevalent....fortunately countries with younger people have less toxicity
