Here is a list of the #COVID19 #ARDS #SARSCoV2 reference materials that I have found and believe will be helpful.

Early recognition is one of the most important steps in treating #sepsis

@cubsfanwhit Sorry to hear. We had COVID go through the house Oct 2020 (prior to vaccines being available). The exhaustion takes a while to improve (4-6 weeks for me).

@SecVilsack @crabb_vicki Thank you for your story. As someone who advocates for #Sepsis prevention, the #fluvaccine is one of the preventative measures we can do to prevent Sepsis. I’m sorry for your loss. I have seen countless patients die of influenza, and getting your flu shot is the best prevention.

*refuse to oppose misinformation

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

My experience is that many religious groups have engrained in their followers the “ability” to pick and choose what is science based on their “interpretation” of the Bible or the preaching/teaching of their leaders/pastors.

[Joe Pierre, MD @psychunseen]

Part of #vaccinehesitancy is rooted in enduring belief in #ConspiracyTheories.

1/3 of the US believes vaccine harms are deliberately hidden from the public.

#COVID19 is beatable, but the stubborn conviction of false belief is a tougher challenge.

It’s unsurprising and incredibly sad to see how leadership within these religious groups have chosen to either oppose (or at a minimum remain silent) against misinformation which is harmful for their parishioners.

@SaskiaPopescu It’s especially bad when I get a new phone and need to train it for all of the medical terms. 😂

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

@SaskiaPopescu Autocorrect is both my lifesaver (I can’t spell to save my life) and also the bane of my existence (constantly changing word it shouldn’t). 😂

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

How can we overcome these behaviors/beliefs? Living within society, there needs to be societal norms, else we descend into anarchy. How can we cross these barriers and bring together individuals who are willing to choose misinformation and fallacies over facts?

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

This is prevalent in many of the evangelical Christian churches I have attended over the last 40 years and is consistently demonstrated by hundreds of my peers based on the content they endorse and share on social media and their actions in person.

RSV is a significant burden on Children’s hospitals like @UpstateGolisano @URMed_GCH and can lead to secondary infections.

[Chris Carroll MD @ChrisCarrollMD]

Thanks @ElishaMachadoTV from @FOX61News for taking the time to spread the word to parents about what to look for with the rising #RSV rates in children of Connecticut! It was great talking to you! https://t.co/MqCTCdiuqj

I was very excited and let my wife (who is also eager to protect our children) that it should be soon for our school aged children.

So... did you do a little dance when Pfizer officially submitted an EUA for 5-11 year olds? Do you see the light at the end of the tunnel?

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

This is incredibly sad and difficult to process how we can have people willing to forgo a simple preventive tool for COVID and still choose not to protect ourselves and our families.

[Dr. Elizabeth Murray @DocEMurray]

Sobering data out today showing that more than 140,000 children have been orphaned or lost a caregiver due to Covid19.
Please get vaccinated.
Please vaccinate your children.
Please use other mitigation strategies, else we risk a different type of pandemic.

@TheBlondeRN $50 is out of many family's reach if you need to spend that with any regularity

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

@SherriDouville Almost certainly the easiest/simplest explanation and solution is a poor fit to the problem. Doesn't mean that we shouldn't evaluate it, but that we need to be willing to invest more time and effort to ensure that the solution is a good fit for the problem

@dereknoll14 @TheBlondeRN Most programs attempt to give the nurse a broader perspective on the healthcare system, and how they play a role in that system. I know a few programs which were poorly done, and didn’t meet those objectives.

[Gregory Briddick, MSHI, BSN @gbriddick]

@dereknoll14 @TheBlondeRN To be honest, that sounds like a reflection of the RN-BSN program. I have worked in many states, with hundreds of nurses, and the vast majority believed that their BSN gave them a wider vision of healthcare.
