Have been attending on inpatient service @BrighamWomens @DanaFarber this month, and on a #COVID19 "Special Pathogen Team" this past week. Amazing camaraderie and esprit de corps, really proud of these places & people. A few quick #medtwitter observations:
1) A LOT of patients present with signs & symptoms that *could be* COVID-19: regular febrile neutropenia, other respiratory illnesses, fever after a transfusion, vague symptoms in people who have lymphopenia because they just had a transplant or are on lymphodepleting chemo, etc.
I don't think I've seen much discussion of resource use for ruling out COVID / so many common COVID mimics. COVID teams are metaphorical N95 masks for the hospital: filtering & allowing patients who prove COVID negative to pass through to other teams, keeping those who "rule in"
