COVID Update: I’ve interviewed well over 100 experts now. With omicron, the graphs & opinions are many but the truths are muddled.

There are plenty of contradictions including 8 important ones. In that muddy world, 2022 will be shaped by differing circumstances & 3 attitudes. 1/

@Jules46398072 @BahamaBen9 @saxena_puru @InvestandS Teenagers and young adults are susceptible to Long Covid and I have treated many young adults for this condition. Mortality is not the only endpoint. Variants with increased viral prevalence is a continual danger. Decreasing virus is a good thing, but lockdowns don’t work.

@EveningTrader50 @JonahLupton Agree completely, the best ability is availability

[Stephen Hu, MD MPH @stephenhumd]

@DavidLBrownMD Unfortunately, may be common. Everyone deserves second opinion.

@VeganHeartDoc @MKIttlesonMD Sure, according to guidelines, there is no indication. According to snippet, patient requested CAC. She should be aware that there is a risk of false negative. CTA’s can be now obtained with mammogram levels of radiation exposure and lower dye load, something to think about. 🤔

@BahamaBen9 Does this include health insurance? Early retirement is an interesting concept, but with the American Health Care system, an unexpected illness could drain funds immensely.

@AllisonRBond @eemoin Classic!! Actually i always saw it as a karate forward lunge punch!

@eemoin Did they place it with palpating and landmarks? Didn’t see that episode...Prior to standard of care ultrasound, we did this consistently.

I also pointed out that by reaching 19 million confirmed cases, the real number is 4-5X greater, meaning over 80 million. So we’ve hit Dr Rand Paul’s magic number of 22% herd immunity...and guess what? It’s not happening. Big surprise.

[Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles]

I'm not sure some of you understand...

When people who spent years working 80-100 hr weeks, missed large sections of their lives b/c of their jobs, & deal with life/death on daily basis say that COVID is hardest thing they've ever dealt with...

that should mean something to you
