IMPORTANT: While "contact tracing" is essential to curbing the spread of #COVID19, new polls show many Americans don't want to do it. Here’s what it actually is & why we as doctors think it's the best route to re-opening the country. Please share with anyone who needs this info.
First: What is #contacttracing? It simply means that when someone tests positive for a contagious illness, you try to determine who came into close contact with them & may also be at risk. Then you might test and/or quarantine those folks, to control the illness's spread. (2/13)
As a doctor, when I see patients with suspected #COVID19 in my ER, they get a test & results. But beyond that patient in front of me, I can't do much to control the spread to all the people they came into contact with. Contact tracing helps immeasurably with this. (3/13)

In the Third Meditation (very Cartesian headings) of David Bentley Hart's #ThatAllShallBeSaved, he provides a helpful (yet terse) commentary on Paul's sermon in Roman 9-11 regarding "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated", demonstrating the rejecting of one brother, ultimately saves both.
#DBHart argues that this literary unit with Romans is wrongly used to justify a double judgement with one part being identify as "vessels of wrath" due to ancestral sin, but the loci actually demonstrates the salvation of all through the rejection of one brother
It may be true for Augustine that original sin is a sexually transmitted disease #STD and sin is concupiscence but this is not the reformed tradition's understanding of it. So he is flat wrong to lump Reformed in with this older Catholic dogma.

33/M HIV(-) MSM is back w persistent urethral pain/discharge. 2 wks ago, got azithromycin 1g for same sx (urethral swab >25 WBC but GC NAAT neg). Rpt now: swab >25 WBC & GC NAAT neg still. Exam: no ulcer/rash. No new sexual activity. W/c of the ff is a reasonable approach for pt?
(1/5) Answer: 41% got it right, moxifloxacin x 7 days. Recap, what I meant with GC in the quiz is gonorrhea and Chlamydia testing, thanks @rexjustinlim for clarifying this. NAAT for GC is higly sensitive and specific. #IDMedEd
(2/5) Most common cause of persistent/recurrent non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men is M. genitalium (up to 30%). Trichomonas vaginalis, also a cause and should be a consideration in men who have sex with women. Recent FDA approval for M. gen NAAT test fda.gov/news-events/pr…
