Anyone else feel like the conservative side of #SCOTUS is trying to rush us to the world to come? Wishing they would let those of us who care more about this world make the policy decisions that manage it. Go pray and let us handle the day-to-day. nyti.ms/3bGTT2b

I want to congratulate the sleepaway camp I advise- in spite of 7/178 (3.9%) of antigen testing positive on arrival (kids returned home), they had only 2 more positives (d2) and none on days 3, 4, and 5! But also terrifying that a random 1-day sample had 3.9% antigen positivity.

On the morning when Avital Y. O'Glasser, MD FACP SFHM DFPM (she/her) asked for some cute animal pics, I randomly pulled this little fella out of the pool! Fit right in the palm of my hand. Is tularemia more or less likely when they're this young?

Why in 2022 do interior lights in cars stay on forever instead of auto-shutoff after an hour?! Who uses these for more than an hour straight?! Real fun coming back from a trip to a car that won't start anda faint light on (that probably got bumped, unnoticed, on the way out). Ugh

At times like these, it seems completely insane that people choose not to vote for Hillary because of the unsecured email server . . .

The link to the Stanford database for SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody resistance was a fantastic thing to include in the IDSA guidelines- thrilled to see this! covdb.stanford.edu/susceptibility…

I just discovered "fill across worksheets" in excel to paste the same data/formula into multiple sheets at once. This is the greatest thing since either sliced bread or the excel $ symbol :-D

Hey #IDTwitter - what's the best regimen to cover new VAP (nares negative for mrsa) in a patient with MSSA bacteremia? How do we feel about dual beta lactams with cefazolin plus pip tazo? Tiffany Goolsby, PharmD, BCIDP

#IDTwitter anyone know how to get an extended 20 day Paxlovid supply for a patient on rituximab with multiple COVID rebounds post hospitalizations? Not having a ton of luck through Pfizer Inc. Attempting to treat similarly to this: bit.ly/3UsfSLJ

Either I miss the northeast or I really love my job. All I know is that I felt true happiness while biking into work on a sunny 15 degree day with little patches of black ice scattered about. Also I think the cold made my hydraulic brakes work better. 😃

Just published our analysis of binding antibodies from a third dose of mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients- Moderna as a 100 microgram booster keeps outperforming Pfizer in this group. More details: doi.org/10.1016/j.clin…

Maybe McCarthy should make concessions to centrist democrats in exchange for their votes, instead of trying to capitulate to the crazy ultra-right congresspeople whose election platforms were based heavily on wanting to undermine our democracy. Or is cooperation that dead?

Why are we still using a wild-type primary series COVID-19 vaccine that has essentially no neutralization against XBB.1.5 in an all omicron world?! It ought to be a bivalent or BA.5 primary series. Hopefully they update this before I have another kid. Ugh.

Thought: when states criminalize transition care for minors (for theoretical harm), they should logically also outlaw anything that causes KNOWN harm to kids- like vaccine refusal, or smoking around kids, or storing a gun in the home. Can't imagine any of that happening . . .

Feeling very ID-Doctorly right now strolling the hospital with a CAPR in my hand and Cary Blair stool media in my pocket. Ready for anything!
