We are deeply saddened that faculty member Professor Stephen Schwartz passed away due to a COVID-19 infection.
He has left a lasting imprint on our department, our university, and the broader scientific community and will be greatly missed.
Higher co-infection rates (>20%) in COVID19 at Stanford med. Can't rely on stepwise triage algorithm. (E.g., Patient RSV or Flu+, enough chance of COVID19 that you can't rule it out) https://t.co/gwIMyvKeh4
@eozdalga@CDCgov Just getting more n95s may not be enough. There has not been ANY primary data showing that CDC protocols are sufficient. And meanwhile US HCWs are already getting sick and the tidal wave hasn't hit yet. Please look into this. @ASlavitt@Farzad_MD@chrissyfarr@LizSzabo
Two doctors critical in the ICU. Two #COVID2019 positive healthcare workers in Boston. Two positive healthcare workers at UCSF. See the video for how they protected healthcare workers in #Wuhan. Why aren't we here @CDCgov? #healthcareworkerslivesmatter

Amazing video from #Wuhan hospital showing their amazing infection control for #COVID2019. Zero infections of staff doing this! What are other hospitals wearing? Worried we're not doing enough to protect #HealthCareWorkers in the US.

In the #EHR era, medical students aspire to operate at the level of an intern... including 4+ hrs per day sitting at a computer in the team room. Attending only 2 hours. I'm pretty sure this is because I'm spending quality time at the patient bedside.🙃

Soooo-Procalcitonin in initial evaluation in the right patients is helpful, excellent NPV, most children still have viruses, is more specific and rises earlier, can help to rule out #IBI and typical bacterial infection but not alone #PHM19
