Dr Maureen Bolon talking about COVID. She remarked we used to call it the "novel coronavirus" - I forgot about that. In all seriousness, we asked her to talk about covid thinking it would be over by now. #MHM20 @midwesthospmed
Why process for research in US is flawed, compared to UK/RECOVERY trial:
*UK pushed enrollment of all pts; we treat pts outside of trials in fragmented system
*EUA discourages trial enrollment
*Trials have inequitable enrollment
*Data collection in US is cumbersome and elaborate

I'm tired of admitting patients who got/spread #COVID19 at indoor gyms, some even masked. All didn't realize the risk. Dr Bolon shared this nice summary of approx risk for lay folks: bmj.com/content/370/bm… 
Nice graph about transmission and why so infectious prior to symptoms. Doesn't address the asymptomatic spreaders who are difficult to study. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…
