To celebrate Tom Krummel's retirement from Stanford, we gathered for an evening of #storytelling. Tom is continuing as a senior advisor for Biodesign and board chair @FogartyInnov so we're not sure this counts as retirement but we miss you already TK! #healthtech #innovation

@bijans Feels like disparaging your institution and boss should be highly problematic even if he only used personal time/equipment

@bradloncar @gillie144 Regardless whether Baxter counts or not, that was tied to their Baxalta spinoff. Not a “true” stock split

Tests in recovered patients found false positives, not reinfections, experts say https://t.co/WLYQVwwqn5

[Andy Biotech @AndyBiotech]

Whoa, 147 (36%) out of 408 people tested positive for the #coronavirus at a large homeless shelter in Boston
https://t.co/WsecQWxdDA

More interestingly, only ~1/6 showed symptoms among those tested positive, i.e. 1:5 for symptomatic vs asymptomatic. #COVID19

[Omar Khalil @okhalil]

@ScottGottliebMD Ideally, we could also conduct a serology test on the ~85% who tested negative to see what percent of those patients previously had the virus. That would give us the true total exposure rate

[Omar Khalil @okhalil]

@bradloncar Interesting but will still need the RCTs to have any sense of real efficacy. What has been observed mortality of ventilated patients in major hot spots? If ~50%, then could be some effect here. Need more data

[NEJM @NEJM]

A cohort of patients with severe Covid-19 received treatment with remdesivir under a compassionate-use protocol. Improvement in oxygen-support status was observed in 68% of patients, and overall mortality was 13% over a median follow-up of 26 days. #COVID19

[Omar Khalil @okhalil]

@Farzad_MD How much can we really read into new case growth and positivity rate given lack of tests available? Especially with guidance in NYC to only test where it will change clinical management?

[Omar Khalil @okhalil]

@ASlavitt Wouldn’t it be sufficient to get R0 below 1? Is R0=0 even achievable?

@Lin_Manuel You inspired my 7 year old daughter to choose Alexander Hamilton for her 1st grade project!
