📢#HCWvsHunger Team #Feedalizumab! We know it takes a village in #MedTwitter, & it's time to make a move on the leaderboard. Announcing #MultiDFoodBoard merging #Feedalizumab, #BadBlood, #HopeAtTheScope, #RadsForFood, #HeartAttacksHunger, & #AmoxiChilin! 😎hcwvshunger.org/how-to-donate/
Your move, #KidVengers & #BladesNBougies. I told you not to count out #Feedalizumab. No one knows better than #OncTwitter how much it takes a village to care for complex patients. Heme/Onc/Path/Rads/ID/Cards--we need them all. Boom! GO merged team #MultiDFoodBoard😎♟️#HCWvsHunger
My only question is how far away people will be able to hear @kari_jerge, @MSharifpourMD, & @DrJenChen4kids when they see this tweet announcing the merger?🤔Go #MultiDFoodBoard. #HCWvsHunger
@kari_jerge @MSharifpourMD @DrJenChen4kids We would've invited #BladesNBougies to join us on #MultiDFoodBoard, but they told all of our patients they could just follow up with #OncTwitter.

#HCWvsHunger
Of course, in the inaugural year of #HCWvsHunger, the defending champion #BladesNBougies raised $90,338. Surely they won't raise LESS than that this year? (These were the #MedStudentTwitter kids who all got perfect scores on Step 1 after all.) Go #MultiDFoodBoard!

🧵It is now clear that we are going to have to get people to #MaskUp to get thru winter without US health care system collapse. #Omicron is way too contagious. #VaccinesWork & #GetBoosted, but they will not be enough on their own. So this thread is for people who hate masks:
2/X: If you hate masks because the ear loops make your ears sore, google "ear savers." That's the term I've seen used for various products that spare your ears w/ masks. Examples in pics, but if you can sew on a button, make some. What else are you gonna do in #quarantine?
3/X: You can get a beanie, headband, baseball cap, head scarf, whatever & attach button or hooks of any kind that you can get from any sewing store or online, & attach your mask loops to that. Ear pain solved! It's important to have a snug fit so try diff distances.

I know personally 3 people receiving monoclonal antibodies this evening. All have had 3 doses of #COVID19 #vaccine or prior infection + 2 doses of vaccine. All are careful. They all have risk factors, but all are pretty symptomatic. Jan is gonna be…rough. #MaskUp. #Omicron
Tweet 2: A lot of people seem to be panicking based on this anecdote. Panic is NOT productive. Instead you need to calmly plan & act to reduce your risk. These are some effective things you can do right now:
👉Upgrade your masks. No more cloth alone. Best is N95/KN95/KF94...
Tweet 3: As an alternative to N95/KN95/KF94, if you can't tolerate those or don't have them, I rec a surgical mask (ASTM level 3, 3-ply is great) w/ cloth mask over it. Read this: scientificamerican.com/article/why-we…. The non-profit @projectn95 has vetted, affordable PPE including masks.

If you're confused about why #omicron is suddenly a crisis, it's exponential growth. Even if fewer people get seriously ill w/ this #covidvariant than priors (not clear, but hopeful data from #SouthAfrica), so many people abruptly ill with anything can grind the world to a halt.
With so many sick at once, you may lack school bus drivers, teachers, truck drivers to move supplies, grocery store shelf stockers, doctors & nurses, & so on. The world isn't set up for everyone to be sick simultaneously w/ #omicron. There's not enough redundancy in the system.
So even if NO ONE got seriously ill, but a large # of ppl were sick enough to be unable to work for a few days, it would be tough. Now add in that some % will get hospitalized, or die, of #Omicron. Even a small % of a very large # of cases is a big #. That's why we are worried.

We're still learning about #omicron. What we know: it is airborne & highly transmissible. Everyone needs to #wearamask indoors in public for now even if #vaccinated & #boosted. Cloth masks alone are not gonna cut it. Best: N95/KN95/KF94 😷. 2nd best: surgical 😷+ cloth on top.
I know it's hard to wear tight masks like N95/KN95/KF94 masks. Drs & nurses have worn them for yrs with many pts. We don't love them either. The best mask for an individual is the one you'll wear consistently & correctly (securely fitted, removing by loops, don't touch front).
Getting lots of harassment about this tweet. I'm spending my free time here trying to keep the public informed & safe. Anyone not up for that message is welcome to scroll on by. I lost someone I love to #COVID19. I am so sad & I don't want your families to feel the way I do.

Thread: Why are we doing #HCWForVaccines? 5.13B doses of #COVID19 #vaccine have been given worldwide (33% of 🌍w/ 1+ doses), but only 1.6% of people in low-income countries have had a dose. This is unconscionable. A picture is worth a thousand words. #MedTwitter 1/X
That means even high-risk ppl--elders, HCWs--may not have had a dose. In #Zambia, a country I have worked in twice, there are ~800 practicing drs. A simple 3d contest like #HCWforVaccines can enable ALL OF #MedTwitter there to #GetVaccinated. And more. Think about that! 🤯 2/X
You can think: "There are 1.2B people in #Africa. When we started #HCWforVaccines 3d ago, 2.48% were #vaccinated. When we end at 11p, that % will be the same." OR "The 💰 we've raised could vax thousands of #MedTwitter, who will be alive & healthy to save MANY lives." 3/X
