COVID-friendly faculty meeting for #acord2020 kicking off next week. Excited to see what innovative trials ideas we can help create into full fledged protocols @ACORDISM

[Katrin Sjoquist @oncodocsydney]

@Mal_Itchins Well done- amazing achievement!

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

We reported over 100,000 tests yesterday. Highest number to date.

Our infection rate remains under 1%.

The takeaway?

More tests does not equal more cases. And masks work.

Vale Martin Tattersall, a giant in Australian #oncology and an inspiration to many.

Australia has managed to push #pancreaticcancer 5yr survival rates into double digits (8.7 --> 12%). Testament to our quality oncology and surgical services, universal health care system, & researchers around the world. @Kaubo https://t.co/k9UvYSDMh9
