This Saturday, May 2nd, will be a little sad for me. I (and about 13,000 of my GI friends) would have been in Chicago for @DDWMeeting. That won't happen. So I decided (with a few friends) to have a get-together. A #TotallyUnofficial "Poster Rounds". 
In a webinar format over 1 hour, at 3PM EDT, noon PDT, 8 PM UK time, 9 PM CET, with informal presentations and discussion of 4 posters. We will have two posters that would have been presented at the meeting, and two "late breakers"/works in progress.
Our new IMIBD section vice chair, Fernando Velayos @Realcecum and I will host. @charlie_lees will lead off with a presentation of his new study of #IBD telemedicine across countries, a topic we have all had to become familiar with very rapidly in the Time of #COVID19

🔺20% of hospitalized
🔺12% of those in ICU
🔺Up to 20% of death
