Today’s @guardian photo story by @WeeksJonny is a timely reminder that the hope created by the launch of a vaccination programme is still very much partnered with grief. And there is much grief to come

We are doing our best-please do your best too

and again from today’s @guardian
a most beautiful tribute to all of these people and those like them
theguardian.com/society/series…

… I know this pandemic has caused great economic & psychological hardship. It’s has disrupted medical treatment for so many.
If you are lost in the notion that this is some elaborate hoax or lie, I will say their names and hope that you will read them.

And please know these are twelve, but that they represent tens of thousands.

Learning points from @ESICM webinar on #COVID19 (based on experience in China)

- 10% of all cases had GI symptoms in the first week

-80% OF CASES WERE MILD

- 5% of all cases were 'critical' and needed ICU (respiratory failure on air, shock or other organ failure)
(thread)
- In ICU patients, prolonged steroid course may lead to longer virus shedding time.

- 50% of the ICU pts had high Troponin related to myocardial virulence of #coronovirus. They saw some sudden, resistant cardiogenic collapse
- They have not seen an increased risk of illness in pregnant or lactating female. This is different from what we know about influenza

- The most associated co-morbities with ICU admission were diabetes and hypertension. (Hypertension was associated the most)
