Hi Members: I want to alert you to a new and potentially powerful resource from @ACPinternists - a member forum to help you in your practice address the real world issues you are facing on the front lines of the #COVID19 pandemic

So why should Z-pak be the choice for you and me?
Vaccines- dangerous, masks-optional
But Z-pak is sensational
C. diff., drug rash, no worry
Patients want their Z-Pak in a hurry
I, however, will hold the line
Z-Pak for covid will not be a treatment of mine.
Wish me luck.
To all patients getting a Z-Pak for Covid-
Why do patients feel the lack
Of a treatment such as Z-Pak?
The allure is on track
To have us on the attack
Against a virus with Z-Pak
Am I just a hack
For not seeing the wonders of Z-Pak?
Covid is a virus you see,

Curious thing about @GlennYoungkin He sends his kids to Georgetown Prep (yes, in Maryland) which has a mask AND vaccine mandate. He chooses to send his kids somewhere with safe policies and then tries to upend ours for political grandstanding. gprep.org/about/covid #Hypocrite

Confused about boosters?
Here's what CDC advisory committee should have done
3rd shot (6 months after 2nd) for following:
1. People >60 (that's the best data)
2. People 18-59 with chronic conditions
3. People with high exposure risk (HC workers, teachers, etc)
That's the list

An interesting look into race based spirometry values.
It is the pulmonary version of the eGFR.

Not a new phenomenon, far from it. "A passive reaction could be construed as endangering the health of society, whereas a heavy handed approach can threaten the values of individual liberty and freedom of expression that we cherish." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
