CoVid Medical Conference Rater. I am giving the Nashville #shmconverge22 Hospitalist Convention of April 7-10, 2022, a rating of 2/10.

Bob Wachter was the plenary speaker.

Only the cardiologists were as bad.

Why do I do this? Because I view them as engaging in medical misinformation.

They are supposed to be good examples.

They are not.
And hospitalists are the ONE group that should get how important it is to not catch CoVid.

I am so disappointed.

Bob Wachter was the plenary speaker. He himself points out the lack of masks.

For the cheap seats....

THIS IS WHY WE NEED MASK MANDATES!

If the one group that has suffered more PTSD than any other group, won't protect themselves?

Who will?
In this grouping of pictures, you'll notice one doctor.
The same one who then took a picture with Dr. Wachter.

I am not trying to shame here, but to show you...we need mask mandates.
Even for leaders in the medical community, because they will not protect themselves.
I didn't even have to try hard to find these.

I'm busy so no time to go dig up the bar pictures. They are out there. They always are.

44 people have been considered to be exposed to HPAI. 23 actually tested. 1 tested positive.

No idea what "exposed" means. Since they seem to be operating on droplet dogma? These are not good numbers, @michaelmina_lab.

The laggy monitoring of ERs has had nothing.

🧵
Image
Image
That is dependent on ER doctors actually noticing a trend.

Since I spent yesterday in an ER watching them run around? This is.... inefficient approach.

Waste water would be far better.
Testing for ALL of the exposed workers best, yet.

Exposed - 44 people in total, @RickABright ? For 8 states? 33 farms ?

What is the definition of exposed?

For cows? Same farm.

I am impressed with the marketing team of the USDA. HPAI-infused beef almost sounds good after reading a two page PDF that had 3 buried sentences.

Ready to get fired up?

They have been evaluating the milk on the shelves this entire outbreak.

Which means they knew. They knew
Image
there were viral fragments in that milk.

Now, that sentence,

"To date, we have seen nothing that would change our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe. "

Read it again, while realizing that the USDA has been regulatory captured by Big Ag.

There is nothing of Image
precautionary principle involved.

Finally, results will be available in days to weeks? Tomorrow would be too delayed, to be frank.

In the ER with Mom and Aunt, for my Aunt.

Aunt is in the Flomask. Mom is in the Vflex. I am in the 3M 8511 for comms reasons.

We are sitting right next to the sliding doors for ventilation purposes. To our right are the rest of the people and their puffy clouds.

Timed it so we would be in before noon - when it starts getting busy.

In triage, they tried taking her temperature via her mouth.

"Oh, she's immunocompromised as I am and live with her. Can you do the forehead or armpit?"

'No problem.'

Notice how I controlled the interaction
but ultimately left it up to them to have the power of deciding between our two preferred choices?

Why am I wearing the N95? So I can clearly communicate and drive to resolution (white male privilege fully acknowledged).

Lesson learned. When with people not used to respirators

Ready for the ER...

On all of our phones because the hospital staff will be telling us masks are not necessary.

Higher risk factors - we are all 3, one of these.

For all the risk factors, respirators recommended.

But, wait a second...the CDC is JUST looking at ER visits.

@RickABright @michaelmina_lab both expressed concern over that.

And now we have lots of probable cases with workers not wanting to get tested because of low milk prices.

AND we have waste water spiking?
/🧵

Only one human case linked to cattle has been confirmed to date, and symptoms were limited to conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. But Russo and many other vets have heard anecdotes about workers who have pink eye and other symptoms—including fever, cough, and lethargy—and do not want to be tested or seen by doctors. James Lowe, a researcher who specializes in pig influenza viruses, says policies for monitoring exposed people vary greatly between states. “I believe there are probably lots of human cases,” he says, noting that most likely are asymptomatic. Russo says she is heartened that...

This is exactly like 2020. Government slow on the draw. Saying it is just older.....cows.

But now we know there are positive asymptomatic cows and younger cows.

And they STILL ARE not testing....

❌ Beef cows.
❌Workers
❌ Pigs.
❌ Asymptomatic (although they just opened that up)
❌ Only reimbursing for TWENTY cows per farm.

You have got to be kidding me.

People are jerks. Venting a bit.

So, I am headed into the ER tomorrow with my Mom and Aunt, to get my aunt some help with a severe issue. We all r high risk.

I mention this to a friend and the fact that we are all a tad nervous.

(My aunt might have to doff her Flomask to get
testing. I have threaded multiple threads like this one below on how to nip spread in the home after an infection, so no advice needed, thank you though :) ).

No, I am venting because this friend has been infected multiple times with little apparent

damage besides one teeny-tiny thing, albeit a loss of wages for 5-6 weeks.

And she has the cajones to say to me, "Look you need to get over Covid. You are like Trump and the election."

It was all I could do to not just say,
