Ken Cleary opted for high-frequency focused ultrasound treatment (#HIFU) for his #prostatecancer, a leading-edge technology that Fred Hutch was first to offer in the area. A biopsy showed that Cleary’s cancer was completely cleared by his treatment. bit.ly/45EDLoI

Merck enthusiastically promoting NMIBC use of Pembro. Really? It works poorly at best. You now what work nicely? But we still can not get enough of?.....BCG...never seen a commercial for BCG cc @megtirrell
Very frustrating to see @Merck pushing #pembro for #NMIBC #bladdercancer a lot recently while they are still unable to supply sufficient #BCG which would be way more important to prevent progression #bcsm

We now have enough #SARSCoV2 genomic data from different states to make some broad conclusions about how the #COVID19 epidemic has unfolded in the US. 1/14

If we're going to manage a #TestTraceIsolate solution to the #COVID19 epidemic, we need a massive scale up in testing. There are some really exciting initiatives here. 1/9

THREAD: Lots of alarm over the 🚨88% Mortality🚨among #Covid19 patients on ventilators. The paper *should* say "Among pts on vents, mortality will range from 25-97%". This @JAMA_current study is a great for a JournalClub on "Beware Your Denominator"👇(1/7) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Tonight, a deep gratitude to all whose job it is to clean, in hospitals, offices, and elsewhere. In normal times, your work is vital. In these times, it's a matter of life and death. You do not get the appreciation or wages you deserve. This must change as we enter a new normal.

Huge financial impact on hospitals & primary care during #COVID19 #coronavirus they get little attention and now get some help only for Medicare patients. insurers could provide overall reimbursement at levels seen before crisis without loss for themselves msn.com/en-us/news/us/cash-s…

So... now there are a pair of studies confirming by suspicion that coronavirus was spreading in NYC by mid-late February. nytimes.com/2020/04/08/us/co…
Replying to @NateSilver538
It's clear that things people were seeing a *lot* of symptoms by the 2nd week in March, which implies a lot of community spread was occurring ~a week before that (1st week of March). I'm curious about what was happening in late Feb. and not sure if the data is so clear on that.

The debate and confusion about masks for #COVID19 just got some real and important data from a rigorous randomized trial in patients with coronavirus (and influenza). They work. nature.com/articles/s41591-0… @NatureMedicine
