My perspective on #COVID19 as #BMT doc who cares for immunosuppressed patients - pls ignore anyone who says don't worry about #CoronaVirus! The last time docs/healthcare folks cancelled conferences and travel was . NEVER (at least in my lifetime)!!.

My sincere respect and appreciation for Dr’s Lysytsia @MartynchykArina @NazarShokun and colleagues from #Ukraine who continue to care for #BMT patients during the #UkraineWar #IStandWithUkraine.
This lucky girl got a bone marrow transplant for #AplasticAnemia today in a #Ukraine hospital basement by Dr. Oleksandr Lysytsia while Russian rockets fell outside. She’s cured of her rare disorder. I hope she survives this war. #StartWithHillary 🇺🇦

Mine (from resident mentor [non-BMT doc] in 2001; FDA was reviewing imatinib for approval): . "You are committing career suicide by going into BMT - in 5 yrs there will be no transplant - the field is dead" . PS: fast forward to 2019, I am President @ASTCT 🙏. HT @DavidSteensma.
What’s the worst career advice you’ve ever received?. Mine:.(1) Don’t waste your time helping others.(2) Drop 90% of your projects, because you can only do one at a time.(3) Don’t write a book.

In a heated exchange, Dr. Fauci challenges Sen. Rand Paul's assertion that New York's current low positivity rate is attributable to "community immunity": "If you believe 22% is herd immunity, I believe you're alone in that"
