Wastewater testing has proved to be a valuable tool for forecasting Covid-19 outbreaks. Fralick et al. now report that polymerase chain reaction (PCR) swabbing of surfaces may provide a similar benefit for predicting outbreaks in long-term care homes. eviden.cc/3S3wrgy

Great to see an RCT on medical masks vs N95s. As with most studies there are some limitations but overall important information @zchagla @NHBugBusterDoc @DocDominik

India reported highest no of measles cases this year! The disease on the upswing in many Indian states! Despite a vaccine w/ 95% efficacy & long lasting protection, we need to vaccinate 95% of target population to prevent an outbreak! @naveenthacker timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/in…

1/14 🤔Why does it take weeks for the radiographic evidence of pneumonia to clear? Patients often feel better DAYS after starting treatment. And yet the chest x-ray takes WEEKS to return to normal. Why the delay?

🚨Results from our CUBE study are out!🚨 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. Over the past 10 months we have been swabbing the floors of LTCs for SARS-CoV2. It is like wastewater surveillance, but with greater spatial resolution. After all, why swab feces when you can swab floors?! 🧵 1/7

It is a crisis in Northern Ontario with the urgent need for over 326 physicians right now. @thenosm expansion will be one long term solution but we need help now with ER rooms closing for lack of MDs. @snewbery1 @NOSMMDworkforce @SueLeBeau1 @AlykhanAbdulla
