MUCH SHORTER EXPOSURE— #B117 is so infectious—very short exposure can lead to #COVID19. Many infected via just a few minutes inside a store. 🇨🇦 local health dept has shortened the exposure time to as little as ***1 second if not wearing face masks**. 🧵

@JayzTwoCents @YouTube Always have been team green but after the latest Nvidia fiasco. I’m willing to try team red.

Heard of SARS-CoV2 variant from Japan?

No?

How about one from South Korea?

No?

Surely variants from New Zealand & Vietnam?

Of course not

Because these places haven't given rise to scary variants

But what places have.....has big implications for ending the pandemic

I’ve received the first of two COVID-19 vaccine shots thanks to #science, @pfizer, and @BioNTech_Group 🥼🧬🏥

@StevenRivas @ImOnlyJoeKing73 We’re very sorry for your loss. Steve thinks the 🌎 of you and your family.

Randomized controlled trial from India associates convalescent plasma therapy (CPT) in COVID-19 with reduced mortality in patients < 67 yo. CPT quells cytokine storm suggesting mechanism for clinical effect.

Stay safe and healthy this holiday season.

What to watch for in next hours/days:
1) It could be weeks before we know @realDonaldTrump's disease trajectory. Chances are (& we hope) he will recover. But mean time between symptoms onset & ICU is 10-12 days.

2) Contact tracing is very complex

If your mask was made in China, it might have been manufactured by forced #Uighur labor. Since #COVID19 the number of forced labor mask factories across China has exploded.

Many thanks ⁦@thelauracoates⁩ for hosting me on ⁦@CNNTonight⁩ and the chance to discuss my concerns that #covid19 is devastating low income neighborhoods across the metro areas of the South. I believe a heartbreaking situation is unfolding among our most vulnerable

The President taking hydroxychloroquine is

not without real risk.

not supported by science.

not supported by the FDA or NIH.

not recommended.

not to be mimicked by others.

not going to make coronavirus go away.

If he were my patient, I’d keep him safe and tell him to stop.

I feel so awful for what's happening in Amarillo #Texas. Once #COVID19 gains entry into these meat packing places it's like hell on earth. Unbelievable. Until we figure this out, it might be worth looking into post-exposure convalescent serum prophylaxis https://t.co/5oZ0ICBJDP

For those protesting social distancing (doubt they would read this) - a small group of my friends got together for lunch 10 days ago: 1 is on a vent, another admitted to a regular floor bed, 5 others are COVID + at home. You can be asymptomatic and have COVID19

[Bob Hoffman MD @bobhoffmd]

Yesterday on my ER shift I got spit on, had my life threatened, had to restrain several intoxicated patients and broke up a fight between a patient and my staff - all in addition for caring for a number of sick patients - life is returning to normal 😀
