Please explain why, in the ms teams tv commercial about doctors using ms teams for telemedicine, all the doctors are white? There is one white female. The white men do most of the talking. Please include more women and doctors of color.

At this time, we will be using our platform to amplify voices from the Black and African American community at Microsoft.

@RepTedYoho you should be ashamed. Is that how you would want your mother, wife and daughters to be treated? Are women not worthy of dignity?

Very young children are being held for days and weeks at a time in hotel rooms by federal immigration enforcement agents with no childcare experience. This is traumatizing to these children and unacceptable. Our full statement: https://t.co/yQih5zYZw1

I had the great fortune to work with Dr. @crassbac when I was a resident at @stanfordpedsres. What a well-deserved honor for a great educator and great person! #PHM20Virtual

A recent piece in @HarvardBiz highlights the skillful management of #COVID19 by several women leaders and asks, “Will the pandemic reshape notions of female leadership?” I hope so. We need women involved at all levels of decision-making. https://t.co/s3dF85nEPm

Global vaccination rates have dropped for the first time in 28 years due to delivery disruptions caused by #COVID19.

@UNICEF & @WHO call for an urgent expansion & restoration of immunization services to tackle the alarming decline. #VaccinesWork https://t.co/LO002vw8Py

Good morning to everyone, except medical faculty who tell female trainees they are “pushy” or “too confident”, when they don’t say the same to male trainees who rudely dominate small groups.

Very little information is currently available on how #COVID19 is changing the lives of refugees & migrants, & how they deal with difficulties. This survey aims to inform & support policy makers & practitioners to better support refugees & migrants.

Thank you @RetractionWatch for highlighting this story. Thank you @ejemaim for raising the issue. Global North and South personnel can and should work together for mutual benefit and equitable credit. @NigeriaScience @IHVNigeria @IhvnIrce #decolonizeGlobalHealth

#Houston is grateful for the support from @andrewcuomo and the people of #NewYork. I thank them for sending a team and supplies to open two testing sites. Testing is critically important, especially in the Black and Hispanic communities, that have been hit hardest by #COVID19.

[Daniel O'Connor @DanielMOConnor]

Sadly not shocked to see our findings from the ED replicated in IM... my guess would be similar drivers too. @FutureDocs @arjundayal4 @procAnna @TaniaMJenkins @MOsborne_Soc

Fighting a common enemy - that's how COVID-19 unites competing interests in health care.

We propose this same concept can now catalyze progress in patient safety and reduce harm to patients & clinicians @deansittig @TGandhi_Safety @BMJ_Qual_Saf

As a physician, I find this abhorrent. I support my colleagues @CDCgov, who are experts in data and protecting Americans. I am calling and emailing my senators to stop this insanity. Please do the same. [phone] https://t.co/agQH7PGjC9 I'm not tagging, but please retweet.

Version 2.0 of COVID data submission by hospitals is out

Beyond such portals - we need a modern, long term national health IT data infrastructure for use in public health emergencies. ICYMI see https://t.co/X98jYqxfh8

My heart breaking for all of us.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

1/ Texas hospitals are running out of drugs, beds, ventilators and even staff.

Many hospitals are no longer accepting transfer patients in order to maintain space for a surge that’s expected to come.

In some parts of Texas, the surge is already here.
