Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia

During the week of Christmas, our Director brought some festive cheer by handing out gift bags to our CLC Veterans.

Nursing home companies are facing criticism for prioritizing profits over patient care. In part two of our @CBSNews investigation, a family shares their allegations of neglect.

They say you should feel lucky to be here. And I do.

They say it’s a privilege, many people would kill to take my spot, so I should be grateful. And I am.

But there are things they never tell you.

There are things that you’re left to discover.

Things taken from you. 1/

A thread well worth reading on the new variant:

Highlights:

Omicron does not originate from Delta but ancestor from mid 2020

Maybe accumulated mutations for >1 yr before detection (perhaps) or accelerated development in immune compromised individual that couldn’t clear it

There have been a number of overview threads on the emerging variant designated as @PangoNetwork lineage B.1.1.529, @nextstrain clade 21K and @WHO Variant of Concern Omicron. I'm not going to attempt to be comprehensive here, but will highlight a few aspects of the data. 1/16

Reading David Eddy essays from 1980s & 90s
Remarkable how he and @donberwick , @GuyattGH and @jpkassirer
Understood

-some care highly effective

-MOST care marginal benefits

-some harmful

Physician practice HIGHLY variable

Small to medium effects of methylphenidate for apathy in AD. Good to see a positive symptomatic treatment trial but I wonder just how important the improvements are to patients and their families.

A young lady, double vaccinated and completely asymptomatic, drops by the pharmacy for a rapid test. She explained that she has to look after an immunocompromised relative so she wanted to do the test as an added precaution. I completed the test and got this:

Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.

Way too much food and way too much fun at the Ethiopian Day celebration today. At nearly 6,000 strong, our Ethiopian community is a big part of our city’s fabric and their food and family celebrations are one of my favorites. 🇪🇹 #OneSiouxFalls

I’ll say it again:

Rapid tests have the same accuracy in asymptomatics as symptomatics

If someone says they are less sensitive to detect infectious people who are asymptomatic, they are wrong

The test does not care about your symptoms, it cares about how much virus you have

An important update today. We have submitted initial data to @US_FDA that suggest a third dose of our #COVID19 vaccine within 6 to 12 months after the primary vaccine schedule may help maintain a high level of protection against the disease. (1/2)

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

There needs to be truth-telling about the reduced protection of mRNA vaccines vs symptomatic Delta infections.
It was 95% pre-Delta.
Many are claiming it's still ~80%.
It isn't.
50-60% is best estimate from all sources (not US, since we don't have the data)
