COVID-19 - 1 | id:485831 -

Great article on efficacy of vaccine between the two doses of the COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine. However, this early protection comes with some important caveats. First, the protection doesn't kick in until at least day 12 – until then, there was no difference between the two groups. Secondly, one dose is still significantly less protective than two. The latter is 95% effective at preventing the disease after a week.

Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp began relaxing restrictions on businesses when he decreed that gyms, bowling alleys, tattoo parlors, barbers/hair salons, nail salons and massage therapists could reopen on April 24. Restaurants, movie theaters and private social clubs were added to the list on April 27. Kemp then abandoned his shelter-in-place order which was scheduled to expire on May 13 and reopened the state on May 1. The risk of exposure to COVID-19 for people who live in Georgia has increased every day since Kemp began reopening the state.

painful red or purple lesions that typically emerge on fingers or toes in the winter. It’s also not the time of year for chilblains, which are caused by inflammation in small blood vessels in reaction to cold or damp conditions. “Usually, we see it in the dead of winter,” Dr. Fox said.

Two California ED physicians with financial interest in urgent care. The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) jointly and emphatically condemn the recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical societies and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19. As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.

COVID-19, Trump - 2 | id:309706 -

Good, short read on how Trump is taking credit for everything good and blaming the governors for everything bad. The only thing worse than a pandemic is having Donald Trump as your president during a pandemic. Tens of thousands of Americans have died. Tens of millions have lost their jobs. President Trump, meanwhile, has indulged in self-pity, touted an unproven drug, bragged about the TV ratings of his press briefings, and expressed interest in the idea of people injecting disinfectants into their lungs — or, as we used to call it, committing suicide. Every day, we have to worry about the president's mental health when he should be worrying about our physical health.
