#Ebola en #RDCongo : #MSF constate que le virus progresse plus rapidement que le déploiement de l’aide humanitaire. De graves insuffisances en matière de diagnostic, de surveillance et de suivi des contacts compromettent l’endiguement de la crise. msf.fr/actualites/ebola-en-r…

Chair medicine happens when Ontario ERs don't have space. Here is a sample of Ontario chair-care cases: 1-bowel obstruction needing emergent surgery 2-a mother having a miscarriage 3-bony pain from widespread metastasis 4-opening abdomen as a complication of surgery 5-a patient waiting shocking of their heart for arrhythmia 6-confused elderly patients whose family is holding them down from running away 7-a patient with URTI symptoms from a family with COVID beside patients with cancer and from nursing homes 8-an elderly patient with a bowel obstruction 9-an elderly patient with brain bleeding after a fall 10-an elderly patient with a fall and broken spine 11-a patient with STEMI awaiting transfer to the cath lab for emergent opening of their heart vessels 12-a dislocated shoulder 13-a dislocated elbow 14-a patient after brain surgery with confusion and unable to walk 15-a patient with a new brain cancer that can't walk safely 16-a patient who spent 40 hours in a chair @kellygrant1 @OntariosDoctors @CAEP_Docs

Want to know what it is like to work in an #Ebola treatment unit. I wrote this after my first deployment in Sierra Leone in 2014. I pray for & think of DRC’s healthcare workers now. But prayers aren’t enough- resources, help & solidarity are needed. npr.org/sections/goatsandsod…

Concerning the lack of cooperation shown by the people of the eastern DRC, with respect to efforts to control the current outbreak: the region has endured violence and exploitation for over a century. Mistrust of authority is a survival skill, passed down through generations.

Trump has completely surrendered to the Iranian government. So why does it feel like Joe Biden is the one waving the white flag?

Disappointingly little new or extra information here. The media comments from WHO et al feelnlike they convey alarm at the spread, but these reports don't speak of root causes or deficits, rather just a skeletal numbers update.

The International Committee of the Red Cross says the risk that the thousands of Palestinians buried beneath Gaza’s rubble may never be identified is increasing by the day. Israel has blocked the heavy equipment needed for retrieval of bodies. trib.al/mSMRwW2

I'm a long-time follower of @gdemaneuf , and appreciate his research on SARS-CoV-2 origin But I am concerned with the unsubtle juxtaposition of the death penalty for drug-related offences with the problem of reckless behaviour by certain virologists I urge @gdemaneuf to retract

For years, #Ebola outbreaks have struck such fear it never occurred to me people in an outbreak zone would view it as sort of “meh”, or as @DrTedros described it, “a lesser evil.” No easy fixes here.

The best thing about so many of the cuts Trump made is that there are no consequences. It’s like the transgender mice. I could care less about the sex life of flies and mice.

Get used to it. Pilgrimages to Moscow and state TV spots. Ukraine is doing well. “The spirit of Anchorage” is no more. And the Russians who never trusted the U.S. to begin with, even under Trump, are looking to stir trouble in the MAGA-verse. A Western intel source told me Malofeev will be involved in this at the financial level. inews.co.uk/news/world/magas…

A low number of DRC-located confirmed #Ebola cases overnight - none new in Uganda. But only 35 samples were analysed in Ituri; none in Nord Kivu (172 delayed) and nothing reported from South Kivu. Good news or a problem? The contact tracing rate has dropped to 28% - need >90%

Attended the amazing @MicrobioSoc conference on bioaerosol this week! 3 days of outstanding science Unfortunately, many early career researchers and PhD students from the USA weren’t able to attend the meeting out of concerns about getting back into the USA What are we doing?
