While I have been tweeting a lot about the pandemic, vaccines and the virus, I am getting more and more (very funny!) comments about my hair. So, here is a decidedly unserious response. This is how I’m used to my hair looking. (1/12)
It wasn’t always this way. I’ve gone for a more clean cut look after med school. (2/12)
In the beginning of the pandemic, I even tried cutting it myself. (3/12)
Then @andersoncooper showed me what happened to his hair when he tried the same thing. And, it scared me off. (4/12)
But over the course of this pandemic, it’s admittedly gotten a little wild. (5/12)
I am not the only one. Check out these two. @sethmeyers @StephenAtHome (6/12)
My pal @chriscuomo has openly mocked me. (7/12)
@jaketapper says it looks like I just rolled out of a @davematthewsbnd concert, and that he likes it. But I think he’s just being nice. (8/12)
@RobinMeade even considered starting a GoFundMe page to get my hair cut. (9/12)
@JohnBerman said his wife thought “my hair was awesome,” but strangely he didn’t offer up his own opinion. Though, get a load of his non-anchor man hair! (10/12)
And whenever I do @donlemon‘s show he always just laughs. With me or at me - I am not entirely sure. (11/12)
While I could safely get a haircut, my wife recently chimed in. She says she likes it! For now... My three tween and teen girls are fickle. One day they love it. The next day: “ooh dad… no” (12/12)

With Pfizer’s vaccine being granted authorization in the UK and the prospect of a Covid-19 vaccine EUA here in the US, I wanted to take a moment to answer some of the most common questions surrounding these vaccines. (1/16) Image
“Why is it so tricky to distribute these vaccines?” It’s in large part because the two vaccines currently under EUA review have to be stored at super cold temperatures. (2/16)
Pfizer's vaccine needs the coldest storage at -70C; -94F and that is unavailable in most places. Pfizer has even designed special “thermal shippers” to help transport its vaccine. (3/16) Image

We’ve reached another sad milestone in this pandemic.
The US has surpassed a record of more than 60k Covid-19 hospitalizations for the 2nd consecutive day. (1/12)
But there is some glimmer of hope - a smaller percentage of people are dying now from Covid-19 than in the spring. (2/12)
cnn.com/videos/health/…
One study of the @nyulangone health system found that in the spring, 25.6% of hospitalized Covid-19 patients wound up dying. By the summer, that rate had dropped by more than 2/3rds to 7.6%. (3/12)

I want to take a moment to explain the big vaccine news today. #Pfizer is reporting early data showing their vaccine is “more than 90%” effective in preventing COVID-19. I spoke with #Pfizer’s CEO @AlbertBourla today, as the news broke early this morning (1/10)
Remember – this is an early read from a group of independent experts, not #Pfizer itself. Who are these experts? They’re known as the data safety monitoring board. (2/10)
cnn.com/videos/health/…
What we know: out of nearly 44,000 trial participants, 94 were infected during the trial period. Here is the key finding: more than 90% of the infected cases occurred in the placebo group. Fewer than 10% of the infections occurred among those who had received the vaccine. (3/10)

DAY #4 President Trump hospitalization. There's still a number of unanswered questions about the president's health. Here's what Trump's doctors have told us so far. (1/20)
cnn.com/2020/10/03/pol… Image
Dr. Sean Conley read a prepared statement Saturday morning saying Trump was diagnosed 72 hours ago, meaning Wednesday morning. Dr. Conley later changed the timeline to say the diagnosis was Thursday night. (2/20) Image
So, the timeline is still unclear, but we also don’t know the last time the president had a negative test. This is a critical detail. It allows the contact tracing of people he may have infected - and gives a clearer picture of where he is in his own disease course. (3/20)

After announcing a positive Covid-19 test early Friday morning, President Trump ended the day at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where we are told he’ll remain for “the next few days.” (1/12)
The White House said this was being done out of an “abundance of caution.” We know, however, that he developed progressive symptoms over the day, including a fever and fatigue. Mild symptoms can turn severe quickly, especially in a vulnerable individual. (2/12)
Take the case of Boris Johnson, UK’s Prime Minister. He was diagnosed with Covid-19 back in April. He also only reported mild symptoms at first, but more than a week later was hospitalized, including three nights in the ICU.(3/12)

Most people on the planet want a vaccine right now and we got some news this week that the process is speeding along. Getting a vaccine approved (or authorized) quickly will be critical, but how fast is too fast? Let’s take a look.(1/20)

Remember EUA - stands for Emergency Use Authorization - and permits the FDA to allow the use of unapproved drugs and products to manage a public health emergency. These terms are important. These products would be “authorized” but not yet “approved.”(2/20)

For this pandemic - hundreds of EUAs have been issued for diagnostic tests but just two are currently being used for therapeutics - the antiviral remdesivir and convalescent plasma - donated antibodies from Covid-19 survivors. (3/20)
