Our #RCT of #azithromycin vs placebo for outpatient #COVID is out today in @JAMA_current
Tl;dr – azithromycin doesn’t help improve symptoms in outpatients with COVID and might make things worse, so don’t use it. 1/n

Azithromycin is one of the most commonly prescribed treatments for mild #COVID19 in outpatients. We have NO evidence of if it helps, or if this is unnecessary antibiotic use. Efficacy data would tell us if this is a good option for outpatients or if we should stop this practice.

Team from @proctorfndn @UCSF used @GoogleTrends to explore a connection between #COVID19 and ocular symptoms.
Compared to prior years, searches for sore & burning #eyes increased; conjunctivitis search increases were variable based on language.

Americans engaged in protests are being blinded by rubber bullets. While classified non-lethal, they are not non-blinding. Join me in condemning their use. Using your voice shouldn’t mean losing your vision. #NotOneMorEye #NoRubberBullets #ThisIsOurLane ow.ly/Y4k550zZqy5
