Iโm in the reddest rural area in Florida today and not only are more people masking in the office but the workers at the local McDonaldโs were wearing masks as well.

My vegan friend told me that to enjoy non dairy cheeses itโs important to abstain from real cheese for a decade so you forget what it tastes like
@KrugAlli
Just give the kid the vaccine. You donโt need to tell them what itโs forโฆ do you going to explain polio to your child? In Italy these vaccines are given before school starts.
Iโm irritated bc someone I know is quite sick w covid and wonโt take Paxlovid bc it interferes with their statin. Letting a cardiotoxic virus rage in the body is clearly more dangerous than stopping a statin for a week. The messaging is off.
@1goodtern
Another close friend of mine had โmini strokesโ and is now walking around with an EEG strapped to her head. She forgot to bring her mask to a play. This is the second friend with bizarre strokes this year.
@melina_manolas
I remember there was a patient in the ER during my residency bc she got hit in the head by a shoeโฆ from a resident that jumped off the building

@victoriacoble15
Iโve worked at a hospital where there is a second step you have to go through in the EMR โare you really sure you want to order a Covid test?โ
At the Trader Joeโs today I saw some people in N95 or KN95 masks, no cloth masks, and one maskless fellow who had turned himself purple with colloidal silver

I talked to
@Bob_Wachter
and he said that I can indoor dine and take my cruise to Bata as long as no one is bleeding onto my plate. The spelunking expedition and bush meat festival is also safe as Marburg levels are low. He did his calculations.
@FinchTH
Just had a patient yesterday with lingering cognitive difficulties and s/p delta PE and s/p omicron MI (and Moderna x2) whose mri was read โsimilar to cereberal amyloid angiopathyโ
@laurieallee
Ophtho here. I still havenโt seen anyone swab the conjunctiva for antigen. Should be easy to do with an antigen test. Youโd need some tetracaine to make the swab more tolerable.
@covidsafenetwrk
I was in a meeting where non clinical people were forcing us to drop the mask mandate in offices and I said can we bring back smoking? It was not well-received.
@1goodtern
These patients are inpatients at my hospital. Very sick. I almost thought I was hallucinating when the โmalaria alertโ went on my phone.

As someone who lived in NYC on 60k a year I find this whole thing laughable. You pay $1000 con Ed bill for a 2br apartment? Whatcha doing in there?
How are we going to run pharma trials for non covid related things without controlling covid? A bunch of adverse events! How are new drugs developed in this environment
@lisa_iannattone
Iโm more at peace now that I realize the N95 is going to stay on for a while now and Iโve been able to upgrade all my offices with HEPA filters. Iโm fortunate to have a house and a partner who is also very cautious. Weโre ok with hiding.

Loss of empathy, calculation errors, word finding errors, and general personality changes. Iโm very careful to check meds and doses.

It is. In the US now theyโre trafficking children from Central America to work the night shift and slaughterhouses! Itโs so dystopian.

@airfrance
I guess some people are unfamiliar with blood and shit smells but I am not. Wearing a good quality N95 mask on a flight is a good health practice. Considering that Air France runs flights from the Congo that could have been any sort of hemorrhagic fever.
@1goodtern
My dad was being evaluated for BPH and they found bladder cancer on the pre-op MRI. It depends on how much was decided to do as inpatient vs outpatient.
@white_bite
The foveal avascular zone is generally used to assess retinal health with diseases such as diabetes. For an illness like covid to do the damage of 10-20 years of uncontrolled DM2 is shocking

@GainOfDystopia
Not sure what to do from here. Just hiding from the virus and all the covid zombies. A Girl Scout zombie approached me outside yesterday trying to sell cookies with a wet cough. Her mother was accompanying her and also coughing and sniffling. ๐งโโ๏ธ
@DrEricDing
Florida is without public health right now. Weโve got a toxic combination of covid spread, poor access to health care, and deforestation and habitat loss leading to zoonotic exposure.
@denise_dewald
I keep my mask on to preserve my brainโฆ I canโt rely on my looks or my body like in my twenties and I canโt sing and canโt dance.
@NjbBari3
I donโt think these criticisms are in good faith. Iโve been working in healthcare and my partner is an essential worker in logistics and weโve had to work through covid in a place with few mitigations (Florida). Maximizing mitigations is key.
@MoriartyLab
What surgery do they need?
If youโre truly at a loss Fly from Halifax to Miami and go to the 24 hour Bascom Palmer eye institute eye ER. Number one institute in the country and they have multiple excellent uveitis specialists and surgeons.

I remember doing consults in Florida during summer 2021 when vaccines were available and seeing 25 year old patients stroked out and on oxygen in the ICU
Prediction: Eventually SฤRS2 will be controlled with a collection of agents with different mechanisms of action much like HAART for HIV. Regimens with good CSF penetration will be necessary for people with neurological dysfunction.

Hurricane Ian hit the city to the south of me. It destroyed mansions and shacks alike. Stubborn relatives who refuse to evacuate seem to come in almost every family. After the disaster the basic human needs are all the same.
@1goodtern
Aggression with/after covid Infxn makes ppl more likely to do crazy things. I was called to see a patient who banged his head repeatedly while trying to steal candy from a convenience store. When I got to the ๐ฅ he was in isolation for concurrent flu and covid infection. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
