COVID-19 is not a bacteria, yet it may be a threat to antibiotic resistance. The need due to secondary infections and the aftermath of antibiotic usage is currently unknown, but increased use of antibiotics could greatly impact antibiotic resistance. sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/a…

Antibiotics do not treat the virus COVID-19, but they can treat any secondary bacterial infection caused by the virus. This makes them valuable, and a target for counterfeiters: bad news for patient care and antibiotic resistance. bioworld.com/articles/43458…

Many non-urgent medical visits are being postponed or canceled to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. In pediatrics that means there is a risk that this will adversely affect vaccination schedules, as they are being delayed. nytimes.com/2020/04/23/hea…

Convalescent plasma has been used as treatment for a long time and now it is back. A pediatric patient has received the treatment that will hopefully offer a new method to help critically ill patients. today.com/health/plasma-…

"As health care professionals, we cannot continue to simply label someone’s race/ethnicity as a risk factor without acknowledging the underlying factors that have put individuals at this risk." Thank you Jason Newland and kbryantlouky for this commentary bit.ly/3gMKXqd

UPDATE: Dozens of campers and counselors from the K-2 camp of Kamp Kanakuk have tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Missouri DHSS. ky3.com/content/news/M…

As #Covid19 cases rise throughout the US, camps such as Kanakuk Kamps where kids from across the country come to have a great time but congregate and sleep in close quarters is dangerous and only helps spread this virus. Another shut down will be devastating. Please close the kamp

41 cases of covid 19 reported tonight by KY3 News from Kanakuk KampsK2 from the missouri state health department. Great job following up and correcting the original report of only 2 cases. Now @Kanakuk needs to realize July 10th to reopen is wrong and closing for the summer is right

I have confirmed that #MedBikini has already resulted in people’s schools and residency programs being contacted. It’s not irony that someone posting in swimwear to protest of one of the most misogynistic & unethical articles is scoffed at. It is peak patriarchy. A THREAD.

The directors of the NIH and NIAID both concluded there was not enough evidence to support an EUA. They were over ridden bypolitical appointees with limited expertise. This sets a terrible precedent. FDA Authorizes Convalescent Plasma for COVID-19 Patients medpagetoday.com/infectiousdise…
