Another day, another TB diagnosis. More patients with TB in the hospital than COVID right now. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the COVID-19 pandemic has set us back 12 years in the fight to eliminate TB & expect a 20% increase in deaths. TB can be difficult to diagnose. Here are some thoughts:

Breaking!! The WHO supports a 4-month regimen (rifapentine, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and moxifloxacin) for the treatment of drug-susceptible pulmonary TB in alternative to the current 6-month regimen. apps.who.int/iris/rest/bits… Now how do we get Rifapentine?!

Since 1921, the BCG vaccine has helped protect millions of children from TB. Unfortunately, it offers poor protection for youth & adults. TB killed nearly 2 million people last year alone. The good news is we can #EndTB in the next 9 years. And a new #TBVaccine can help us do it

Last winter, 60% of our beds were filled with Covid patients. ICU expanded from 19 to > 60 V patients. Staff worked beyond exhaustion to keep pts safe. We are preparing to do the same again imminently. Thank you Professor Chris Whitty for clear direct & honest messages @QAHospitalNews

Yes, this. Definitely something slightly off about making someone feel stupid, and behaving in a divisive manner. The poster should also list what it feels like to be on the receiving end of these. It’s wrong: please don’t do it. #culture #values #CivilityMatters
