Thanks @slsteinmd1 for bringing the joy and sweetness of our daughters voices
Making the kids feel like they are part of the solution matters. Here’s our contribution. Feel free to share. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-7FePxCx6GtnRD4Rz8q_I8-606JHWbkz/view?usp=drive_web #FlattenTheCurve #stayhome https://twitter.com/zaracmd/status/1246423104785723396
Thank you @KateBennett_DC. I just showed Soleil your tweet — and she offered to make you a mask as well!
. @drsanjaygupta’s daughter sewing masks for her dad and family (and one for @AC360 @andersoncooper) just broke me — the sweetest gesture of kindness. When Sanjay says, “look at her go...” so proud 💕. #CNNTownHall
In the past 3 weeks we've learned that #COVID19 is #NotJustCough. In this video, I summarize what we know about COVID19 & the gut. How does it get into the intestines? What are the symptoms? Can it spread via stool? Might it trigger #IBS? Full video here: https://youtu.be/ltZ1pLKUQ1Q
Fascinating article from pediatric emergency doc @drsujitsharma about social/physical distancing during and after an ice storm. Back then, everyone was stuck at home and look what happened.
Thank you, @CNNOpinion! We need hope...light at end of this endless tunnel. TY @drsanjaygupta, for being an inspiring voice for all healthcare workers...leading by example: providing people hope, with data rather diatribe. @AnnChahroudi @LoraxMD https://twitter.com/CNNOpinion/status/1246269441848950784?s=20
Felt very luck to catch up with @davidaxelrod for the #AxeFiles. Felt like two friends just catching up. No agenda. No hurry. Just real conversation. With everyone staying at home, I encourage you to do the same. Good for the mind and the soul. Thanks David.
Today, @drsanjaygupta is a trusted and comforting source for Americans in a time of crisis. But on latest #AxeFiles, he speaks movingly about his struggle to find belonging as a young Indian-American in a homogenous suburban community.

Is leaky gut real? What does 'candida' mean? http://ow.ly/MrDG30qucwf
That sounds about right. And, nothing has changed.
Met @drsanjaygupta at a book signing years ago, but learned more about his character when I saw him months later leaving Buckhead Cafe with what looked like his family and parents. They got in the front and back seats. He, without complaint, got in the hatchback. #GoodPeople
It's been reported that hospital workers get sicker from #COVID19 than other victims. Why? Theory is they get larger "dose" of virus. But I wonder: could docs also be surrounded by a group of patients carrying a strain of virus that causes most severe illness (thus in hospital)?
At a time when we're isolated and distressed, the role of home-based therapeutic #VirtualReality has never been more important. Gratified to see medical #XR companies like @XR_Health meet the challenge with #VR tele-health support groups (FYI I have no personal ties to this co.)
Does #COVID19 pass in stool? This question remains vital yet elusive. In this outstanding Tweetorial, @Suzanne_Devkota, a microbiome expert, analyzes new @nature study indicating C19 is not alive in stool. "Cannot conclude from this," she says, "that stool is not infectious."
1/ How infectious are various biological samples from COVID-19 patients? And for how long? @Nature pre-print paper out yesterday- what does it actually tell us? See this thread for analysis.

The @cdc now recommends people wear cloth (non-medical) face masks when out in public. It is a voluntary recommendation to reduce the spread of the virus.

During this time, we encourage now more than ever to take #probiotics.

I’m sure, like me, you all are starting to go a little stir crazy, so I reached out to astronaut @StationCDRKelly on how to deal with being cooped up. He would know; he lived in space for 340 days. And remember: staying at home is mission critical.

"Diarrhea may be 1st or only coronavirus symptom" - @Newsweek covers our new study evaluating gut symptoms of #COVID19. Diarrhea appears to be more common than originally thought. Lasts 5d on average (range: 1-14d). 73% have concurrent fever. Full story: https://www.newsweek.com/diarrhea-coronavirus-symptom-covid-19-patients-study-1495667
#quickcase. Middle aged diabetic male presents initially with leg pain, swelling, and fevers. WBC 31k. HR 116. SPB 104. It rapidly progresses to involve perineum. Plans? Stoma?
Follow @Suzanne_Devkota for info on effects of #COVID19 on the gut. Here she comments on new @nature study evaluating whether C19 in stool is infectious or not. Great analysis of this small study that requires further validation.
1/2 Difficult study, so props to these authors. However, some questions remain. They state no live (sgRNA-based) virus could be detected in any biological sample after day 8 post-onset of symptoms. And none detected in stool despite high viral RNA load. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2196-x

There's still no proven treatment for Covid-19, but a number of trials are in the works. We don't know if any of them will show effectiveness against the novel coronavirus, but here are a few you might've heard of: (1/12)
Where is #COVID19 hiding in the hospital? The National Academy of Sciences just issued this "rapid expert consultation" on bioaerosol spread of C19. Concludes virus can spread via patient conversation & on various droplet surfaces, including toilets. Link: https://www.nap.edu/read/25769/chapter/1

Many people want to #eatwell and also want to have a sense of balance and ease with enjoying all foods. I have a hunch you may be wanting that as well!

In the coming weeks, cases of COVID-19 will increase. However, it is important to understand this is not due to a failure of social distancing. Staying apart will save lives and allow us to get control over this pandemic https://bit.ly/2UAznFg

New study in @nature tested 9 pts w #COVID19 & found live virus in respiratory samples but not stool. Latter is reassuring, but authors note "Our failure to isolate live virus from stool may be due to mild course w only one case showing diarrhea." Need to repeat in pts w diarrhea
Deepest gratitude to my internal medicine colleagues on the #frontlines. @MikeAlbertMD feel better fast, my man!
D1: Well, it happened. I developed symptoms last night, and I’m on self-isolation for a week. Started w/ dry cough and SOB and progressed 2 chest tightness. Pulse oximeter has me @ 98% on RA. We shall see...
Can I be tested? No! Still restricted testing in CA. #COVIDー19 🦠
