Some thoughts on prevalence and prevention....
I have a child with #celiacdisease. Global prevalence 1-2%
That means, even if undiagnosed, out of 1000 ppl, 10-20 of them will have #celiac
It's too many to be considered a "rare disease"
But not enough to be on everyone's radar

There are a lot of kids with "something" but not a lot of kids with each "something." So if you add up all the kids w diabetes, celiac, cancer, cardiac disease you get to a bigger number
But each of these problems? Not huge
And - we can't really prevent most of these diseases.

The burden of disease management falls on kids & their families
We don't serve #glutenfree food to everyone (except in my house!)
Or make sure foods have a low glycemic index
Or test to prevent spread of viruses that can wreak havoc on a compromised immune or cardiac system

#COVID has had me concerned for #socialisolation of my #geriatric patients, but I hadn't had time to think about

3/how #socialisolation will continue for her and her husband much longer given he is unable to tolerate a mask on and/or abide by #socialdistancing rules.
I felt ashamed that I hadn't thought about this until now. I didn't have a solution for her and felt horrible.

Q: Am I able to move my loved one out of a nursing home/assisted living facility during this pandemic?
A: Although several factors can make #COVID19 dangerous to nursing home and assisted living residents, moving a loved one out can introduce more stressors and safety risks.

For most, moving may not be possible. If so, you can still maintain contact with your loved one and their care team through cards, letters, telephone, video chat, and even visits through a window. New routines can ease the burden of #socialisolation for your loved one.
