Last month was a whirlwind, @hawkpharm and I were lucky to have three amazing students. A story featuring @Melinda90742375 from @UMKCpharmacy describing roles our students played in COVID care. Not featured is @SamStev28670755 & @ally_whitey from @KUPharmacy.

Fascinating description of how population density should influence policies going forward -- no one size fits all! And cites the inoculum effect, which is probably much more important than we realize: More virus exposure, worse outcomes. @DrPaulOffit https://t.co/K66gLjnRR4

Remdesivir, tocilizumab, sarilumab ... covering some recent clinical studies here, while trying to grab a drink of water from Niagara Falls with a glass (a.k.a., keeping up with #COVID19 research). h/t Canadian @HelenBranswell for the analogy. Latest: https://t.co/JCtIo01mgq

@ABsteward @DavidJuurlink @SIDPharm @IDPharmacometrx @PulmCrit @PharmERToxGuy @CMichaelGibson @EricTopol @InfectiousDz Isn’t it time we stop using hydroxychloroquine for treatment entirely? Hasn’t it been fully discredited at this point? 1 deeply flawed, discredited, uncontrolled case series supports its use. Several RCTs show no benefit (pre press, at least). Why does it persist?

[Heidi Calvin @hawkpharm]

@tckremmin @SamStev28670755 @Melinda90742375 @ally_whitey @JamesPeppers Time to view it off the Power Plan! “Preferred” I think not!

[Heidi Calvin @hawkpharm]

@tckremmin @JamesPeppers @DarrenDenney I know one retail pharmacy that doesn’t have any!

[Michael Calderwood, MD, MPH @CalderwoodMD]

Dear PCPs: Please stop prescribing hydroxychloroquine for patients to have at home “just in case” they get COVID-19. This is depleting the supply for patients who actually get sick.

[Tyler Chramosta @TChramosta]

@tckremmin @BradleyBingham8 @hawkpharm Thanks @tckremmin for inviting me to speak with these wonderful infectious disease pharmacists!

New in OFID: For patients with severe #sepsis, early consultation with an ID specialist was associated with 40 percent lower mortality: https://t.co/3ltRaCdnTw #OpenForumInfectDis #IDSAJournals @TMadalineID

Whenever I see a patient w/ a FQN 💊 allergy, I’m unsure whether to be excited that someone won’t choose them or sad that they have already been exposed🤷‍♂️. They’re a useful class of antibiotics, when used in the right situation.

Bust says it can tell you "how to throw a baby shower that doesn't suck." Sorry, the only way to do that is to cancel the baby shower.
