Income is a major determinant of health. The looming economic downturn (recession or depression) will likely have a significant negative impact on the health of a lot of people in the years to come. Terrific piece Yaryna Serkez 🇺🇦 New York Times Opinion #dataviz nytimes.com/interactive/20…

We are so grateful to everyone who sponsored a rose to be laid at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial this #FathersDay The Wall is overflowing with love. Red roses honor those killed in action, yellow roses honor those missing, and white w/ red tips honor those we lost later.

When you put love out in the world it travels, and it can touch people and reach people in ways that we never even expected. Happy Pride Month!!! #PrideMonth2020 #DVAHCS

Sobering findings from largest study of #COVID19 patients admitted to ICU in the United States: 2215 adults in 65 hospitals in March-April 2020 Mean age 60 years 39.5% died (6.2% still hospitalized by end study) From 15% in young people to 63% in older jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

As treatments for #COVID19 improve survival, long-term impacts need to be considered. New work from Ziyad Al-Aly, MD on acute kidney injury. Note the high percentage NOT recovering by discharge.

Is COVID-19 “just the flu?” Experts say no. #COVID patients face nearly five times the risk of death compared to those with the flu, according to a deep dive into federal data by researchers with #WashUMed and @STLOUISVA. (Research by Ziyad Al-Aly, MD) medicine.wustl.edu/news/covid-19-…

A team of #WUDeptMedicine and #WashUMed researchers who found a possible link between low testosterone levels in men and severe COVID-19 are urging caution with ongoing clinical trials that block or lower the hormone. medicine.wustl.edu/news/for-men-l… via @wustlmed
