Community health centers in Massachusetts can provide high-quality care for TB infection, especially for immigrants from TB-endemic countries. The Lynn Community Health Center, in partnership with @MassDPH, leads the way!

@PaulSaxMD @joseph_eron We need to leverage emerging infrastructure that allows people who don’t have a doctor to rapidly access oral antivirals. Imagine interpreter -supported telemedicine care with prescribing facilitated by couriered meds.

@PaulSaxMD @mbehr_mcgill What is a false positive Xpert? Could Xpert occasionally be detecting Mtb DNA from a very small mycobacterial population that is below the threshold required for growth on culture?

@HannahNamMD Actino would be surprising at a site not contiguous/proximal to GI or GU tract

Important work by colleagues Drs. Scott Dryden-Peterson, @OjikutuBisola, and others, documenting disparities between Covid19 risk and vaccination rates in MA. Hoping this unfortunate trend can be corrected. @bwh_id @MGHBWHIDFellows https://t.co/zvmbNx9aDl

Today, I received my second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake in the lap of pure nature to dance Punjabi Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm dispatching to Canada and beyond for everyone's good health.

As someone who has not always been happy with the CDC's messaging, I think their new guidance for vaccinated people is quite good.

It acknowledges a lot of complexity and uncertainty with phrases like "for now", "still learning", etc.

Shocking. Another example of structural violence at play in the Covid response. How can we unite and advocate to add sites to the hardest hit neighborhoods? @JoiaMukherjee @emwroe @michaelmina_lab @JustinDMendoza @EricGoralnick @PIH

Today Brigham Health held a vigil in memory of #GeorgeFloyd. Organized by internal medicine residents, we reflected on the injustice of systemic and individual racism in America, and affirmed our commitment to confronting & rooting out racism in our own lives and at the Brigham.

Racist representative King defenestrated by Feenstra. Good news for anti-racists and etymologists. https://t.co/nu24SpYxHj

Germicidal ultraviolet light inactivates coronavirus. We can use it to slow transmission and create safe public spaces.

I discuss more on CNN en Español here.

@AaronRichterman The evidence is clearly accumulating that positive RT-PCR doesn’t have much meaning after clinical resolution of COVID-19. But what will it take to change practice? Hospital epidemiologists and infection control practitioners will have to lead the way in the absence of US CDC.

@AaronRichterman @EricMeyerowitz Remdesivir to hasten conversion of persistently positive NP swabs coming soon?
