My 12-year-old had appendicitis. The ER was overwhelmed with unvaccinated Covid patients and we had to wait 6+ hours. While waiting, his appendix ruptured and had to spend 5 days in hospital; just got hmo bill of $5000. So yeah, your decision to not vaccinate does affect others.

I've been trying to get this blood pressure control at a barbershop study to work in kids, but having some difficulties.

How is this possible? I thought all adult randomized control trials applied to kids.

Great thread by Dr. @EricTopol. A question I have still not seen properly answered is why lymphopenia is a hallmark of #COVID19. Is this direct attack by the virus (lymphs have the ACE2 receptor used by #SARSCoV2), sequestration, hypoxia-->lactic acidosis, other?

Talking to more medical workers tonight who don’t have N95 masks or even surgical masks at all. They are being told to re-use (!) I’ve heard about DIY masks and infant diapers being re-fashioned.

How can we get creative? Reminder again to donate if you are hoarding.
