Its easy for people to view infections as a binary process. You get infected & you recover. But the body has a memory, it takes its toll and has a memory of the infection. #LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver #MasksWork jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

This is shameful. If you want to give bonuses to frontline workers, why would you specifically exclude the resident physicians? whec.com/news/nys-budge…

We've been all saying we want the last few yrs of our lives back. Apparently eccmid agrees 👍

Let's do that science thing !

Petty sugnificant article showing variants can escape . Limiting viral replication should still be a key strategy #MaskUp biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1 million US deaths. Tragic. Is it time for the cdc to officially change its definition of vaccinated to include a booster? Death in unvaccinated 5x those without. What have we learned ?

Sharing this great article by colleague Jerome Adams. 1 million deaths is staggering. Lessons! Observe what works what doesn't & what needs to be better. What people want is for things to get better but stay the same and it doesn't work that way. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

🚨URGENT🚨: One of the most prestigious virology labs in the world, the ones who confirmed BA 2 was more pathogenic than BA 1, Sato Labs, released a new study that finds that the VOCs BA4/5 as well as BA 2.12.1 are more INFECTIOUS and PATHOGENIC over BA 2 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Have you spotted Simon yet? Our media campaign is running now. Please keep an eye out on bus shelters, tv, social and digital media.

"CDC was the manufacturer of..only Covid-19 test..in..US, and there were blunders in the design..of..test..This, coupled with..FDA’s..refusal to allow..laboratories to..use their own Covid-19 tests, meant..testing was..impossible..in..US in..early weeks" nytimes.com/2022/05/29/opi…

Really important that we all lend our support to labs here. The abilities for labs to develop their own tests is essential to patient care and is really important to hospitals. Encourage all Healthcare leaders to understand what's at stake

BREAKING: CDC transmission data for SARS-CoV-2 is so extremely high it's literally BROKEN the counter itself! This is insane! Go check it out for yourself if you don't believe me. We don't know what the current spread rate is. Let's just say it's 99% of the country.

After nearly 16yrs at the county hospital I,m (super excited) to join seegene technologies @SeegeneTech SeegeneCanada as their chief medical officer. Joining a dynamic team motivated to share diagnostic value, excellence and innovation. #greatthingscoming. Love you microbiology!

Hope to see some good friends and smart people !

What doesn't kill you mutates and comes back stronger.

Remember polio? Me neither... why... science + vaccines work !

CACMID (90 yrs stong)great meeting in Toronto nmg! One of the most collaborative lab meetings around. Great data and clinical testing coming out of 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦. Labs have never been more visible ! #nmg Agatha Jassem AMMI Canada Susan Poutanen Seegene Tanis Dingle, Ph.D, FCCM, D(ABMM)

Is this a step forward in delivery of Healthcare? Are concerns and risks over home reporting/testing any less than qualified LDT labs? Priorities ? abcnews.go.com/Health/nih-lau…

Great Contemporary discussion today on how to navigate address and discuss parasite testing . Great conversations @Clin_Chem_AACC Susan Butler-Wu, ☮️PhD, D(ABMM)
