How will we know if a covid wave is coming? The short answer is we might not, but there are some earlier indicators that can clue us in:

1- Wastewater
2- Emergency Department (ED) Visits with/for covid
3- % positivity

Here's where we are on each:

Hey, "science debaters," Vaccines cause less myocarditis than COVID does.

This meta-analysis shows clearly that COVID Vaccines's risk of myocarditis is far less than COVID's risk of myocarditis in 12 to 17 year olds by an order of magnitude.

@Teresa69990171 @DrEricDing @MegMadison13 @CDCgov @CDCDirector can u get Paxlovid for her? reduces death/hospitalization by 90% but nust be started by day5 and some arent eligible (contraindications). Continue to test others, can show up 12d later (5% up to 30d later). Limit highrisk relative exposure. FB/VacTrac413 for more info

[mxmer @mxm630]

@SarahNe39122184 @DrEricDing @CDCgov @CDCDirector it means a cluster of new infections. No deaths reported as of yet. Paxlovid a new med here is helping but even mild cases can still end w #LongCovid and not everyone can take Pax. so masking still recc for at risk persons and should include large groups like that meeting.

@AlanBrockImages @DrEricDing @CDCgov @CDCDirector tell that to my uncle and the other Vets who died in our local Soldiers Home, almost 100 of them altogether/#Covid outbreak...

Roddie Edmonds was a Master Sergeant in the United States Army. In late 1944, Edmonds was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and held at a German POW camp. In January 1945, the Nazis ordered all Jewish-American POWs to step forward. Edmonds, the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer at the camp, ordered all 1,000 US soldiers to step forward, regardless of their religion.

A German commander demanded that Edmonds identify the Jewish soldiers. Edmonds replied, "We are all Jews here." The commander threatened to shoot him if he did not comply. Edmonds refused, saying, "If you shoot, you'll have to shoot us all." The commander backed down.

Edmonds' actions are credited with saving the lives of 200 Jewish soldiers. In 2015, he was posthumously named Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem and was the first American soldier to receive the honor.

Edmonds' story is a reminder of the courage and compassion of those who stood up to the Nazis during World War II. He is a true hero, and his legacy will never be forgotten.

🇺🇸Memorial Day is about families with an empty place at the table, those KIA/MIA/POW (presumed dead). Regardless of politics, these are FAMILIES who lost someone for our FREEDOM. Pls show up to your local MemDay services. Milfams today feel forgotten. Show them theyre not. 💔🇺🇸🙏

After taking tons of tests over the years, I have honed a study technique that works well for me.

And hopefully, it works for you too!

A thread on the study technique that got me through med school, residency, fellowship, and one of the hardest board exams I’ve ever taken:🧵📚

Massacre witness refutes right-wing talking point:
"I don't know what the gunman's problem was," he said. "I don't know his motive, but it wasn't mental health that killed these people. It was an automatic rifle with bullets. That's what killed them."

"I'm a gun lover; I have guns," he added. "I'm a former police officer. I'm a former army officer. But these M4s, MAR15s, they've got to get off the streets, or this is going to keep happening."

(1,2) After Parkland, we passed the MSD Public Safety Act in Florida. One of the important things that it did was raise the age to 21 for firearms purchases. In spite of legal challenges from the NRA, it has been upheld. Tomorrow, the extremists in the House will hold hearings
