@halletecco Perhaps this is the cohort that knows how to get Paxlovid? And hopefully not the majority of older adults that should get treatment and somehow do not.
Our study found stigmatizing language in medical notes varies by patients’ medical condition and race/ethnicity; improved conscientiousness/training around avoiding stigmatizing language in EHRs could improve health equity. Gracie Himmelstein @DBatesSafety https://t.co/VWsKi34IaU
@profvrr On a recent TWIV, I thought @profvrr mentioned a study where half(?) of vaccinated people (who were positive??) didn’t make antigens. I’m looking for that study and maybe remembered the comment incorrectly. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
@profvrr Everyone in my house came running when they heard my reaction to the random testing result (before I heard the CT value). My kids yelled, “but who is Vincent?!”
I don't know. I migrated from India -- a "third-world" nation and didn't speak a word of English when I left
I feel like I've assimilated pretty well
Can't help but feel like @LaurenWitzkeDE may not fully understand what makes America great
@RapidTests I thought the BinaxNow tests could be used off-label (i.e., for asymptomatics)? What is the barrier to getting these in schools to test teachers/students for public health screening of infectious individuals?
If a bat is spotted where someone had been sleeping or near a person who is unable to communicate — a baby, for example — the assumption should be made that the person was exposed and should be treated for rabies https://t.co/uqaVTFmfXs
@ashishkjha I wish school districts tested kids like these camps did. My concern is asymptomatic kids in a hybrid situation will have more contacts & then no mask/distance at home & spread to at-risk family members.
@michaelmina_lab Can someone explain more why EUA for symptomatic only? Is it because too many false positives would need (& waste) PCR tests to follow up? Is there a potential justification to use it in certain more vulnerable populations as surveillance?
@IDSAInfo@FoxNews Can you address the value of the rapid tests as a surveillance tool to screen for infectivity & control pandemic? Points reviewed here https://t.co/ZA86jcC7Hb by @PaulSaxMD & @drjschnip
@SenWarren@HHSGov@CDCgov The government should invest more in rapid, cheap antigen tests.
@US_FDA should authorize these tests to detect infectivity & stop transmission trains as described by @HarvardChanSPH epidemiologist Dr. Mina @michaelmina_lab
@j_g_allen My 10 year old picked up the book first & told me the stat about 72/80 years of our life might be spent indoors. I’m going to try to read outside!
1/ A TOOL TO END THE PANDEMIC
Everyone wants to get out of this pandemic
So what if we told you there was a way to do it, saving lives and livelihoods, but the FDA isn’t allowing it to happen
