Honorable Telangana CM Gaaru @revanth_anumula,
As Telangana and Hyderabad are making their way out from another devastating Aedes mosquito-borne dual epidemic (Dengue, Chikungunya), we look up to your visionary leadership in implementing innovative, evidence-based, and effective strategies for controlling Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika. My long thread follows

@Tata1mgP19424 why is your system so broken? I uploaded two prescriptions and despite a call with customer service to verify the prescription, I still cannot get my medicine. You have lost a customer

@AnorexiaMyths They provide the initial trigger for restriction and once sustained caloric deficit is in place , neurobiology takes over in susceptible individuals . Without them fewer kids would have needed to find out if they were susceptible

[Raj Mummadi MD,MS @rajmummadi]

@AnorexiaMyths Did you read the latest nature study that showed that mice that underwent fecal transplant with stool from AN patients developed restriction and control Mice with stool from healthy controls did not ? https://t.co/hP4FSBxiQZ

@lindsleininger Also, no one understands the role of randomness in outcomes as much as a farmer does( more so in monsoon-dependent countries )
In the modern-day workplace, we tend to minimize the role of randomness and subjectivity in career growth because they are non-actionable items

one of the best threads I have read on Covid-19 in recent times. Thank you, professor! @chrischirp

THREAD: I keep being asked when we can go "back to normal" or "like it was before". My personal thoughts:

We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu.

The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't. 1/13

@thichnhathanh Thay had such a profound impact in this world, and certainly on my own life and practice. May his teachings and influence continue to emanate endlessly. Deep gratitude and sadness.

@lindsleininger growing full risk arrangements might act as a deterrent to just increasing hospital/acute care capacity. Remote/smarter monitoring hospital at home, banking model of sharing resources might be alternatives?

2 years into the pandemic Restaurants everywhere packed to hilt with indoor diners AND meticulously separated “used “ and “ clean” pens. We have failed terribly in communicating disease transmission

As a non-virologist, here are some things I have learned about covid that I would not have guessed before the pandemic. They are super counter-intuitive:

@MarkNelsenKPTV Can you please comment on Monday AM commute with revised forecasts for those of us who need to be at work ?

[Michael L. Barnett @ml_barnett]

Here's my list of 12 papers in 2021 at the intersection of health care, medicine, economics and policy that surprised me, made me think, or were just damn clever.

I'm just going to focus on non-COVID-19 papers - we have enough of that other stuff in our feeds.

Off we go!

Check out my latest article: Omicron Dec 17 Update https://t.co/lF9bY5HavG via @LinkedIn

[Alex Sigal @sigallab]

There are a few results:
1. Omicron still uses ACE2
2. There is a very large drop in neutralization of Omicron by BNT162b2 immunity relative to ancestral virus
3. Omicron escape from BNT162b2 neutralization is incomplete. Previous infection + vaccination still neutralizes

Five quick tweets on the new variant B.1.1.529

Caveat first: data here is *very* preliminary, so everything could change. Nonetheless, better safe than sorry.

1) Based on the data we have, this variant is out-competing others *far* faster than Beta and even Delta did 🚩🚩

@RyanHoliday This is a long discussion. Agree with the sentiment, but when ones life becomes more or less wholly consumed by a goal, worthy or not, an important human richness is truncated. (Don’t believe me, talk to my shrink.)

The US timeline for boosters.
You'd have to work really hard to mess this up this badly and engender this much confusion. 😬
