For a strong dose of optimism, turn to @youyanggu
He's the best US pandemic modeler out there. And he projects we are at/near peak cases and deaths per day
covid19-projections.com
I sure hope he's right.
It still results in 80,000 more Americans lives lost by end October.

Insult to injury: As we turn our attention to the atrocity in Minneapolis, #COVID19 remains undistracted. Below, I've animated cases in L.A. County since the start of the pandemic. We're still seeing quadruple-digit new cases per day. We are still in a pandemic. Please stay safe.

1/ Covid (@UCSF) Chronicles, Day 62
Today started as slow news day. Then it wasn’t, as @moderna_tx vaccine results hit. I’m not a vaccine-ologist, so I zoomed my go-to person, Joel Ernst, chief of Experimental Medicine @ucsf. My Q&A w/ Joel here bit.ly/2ycJM1C (17 min)

25/ That’s it. If you can spare 100 min (great weekend viewing!) it's worth watching the whole thing. Once again, you can find it here: bit.ly/2WW49bH
Back tomorrow with tweets. Next Grand Rounds next Thursday. Stay well...

4/ Pueyo’s analysis is incredibly thorough & vivid, esp. amazing #dataviz & videos. Below clip is re: Taiwan’s successes; other stories re: Korea, China & Singapore. Lessons for U.S. abound, though many steps will butt heads with the “Give Me Liberty…” thread of U.S. politics

3/ @tomaspueyo’s “Hammer & the Dance” is essential reading re: what comes next bit.ly/34Ryhsk. His new piece @Medium, “Learning How to Dance,” is Part 1 in brilliant primer on lessons from other nations re: controlling Covid in tricky next phase bit.ly/34Uhdls

LISTEN UP🔊
Patients with lupus, arthritis, other conditions are *already* on hydroxychloroquine.
And we are diagnosing them with covid19 *LEFT AND RIGHT*
If it does work, it‘s not as good as you hope it is.
And don’t give me any flimsy “resistance” excuses.
STUDY THE DRUGS!

"Man With Coronavirus: I Argued to Get Tested"- @CraigHollander is a lifelong friend. He had diarrhea, fever, *no* cough. He asked me if it could be #COVID19. I said it might. He was refused testing. Argued using data. Finally got tested. Result: POSITIVE: patch.com/new-jersey/westfie…

~80 Americans going home today, no longer #stuckinperu. Thank you @USEMBASSYPERU @StateDept, but can we please get assistance for the 1,900+ others? @SecPompeo @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

NEW chart on coronavirus: we're now tracking death toll trajectories as well as cases
• Deaths in Italy & Spain now growing much faster than they did in China at same stage
• More deaths in Italy in last 24h than on any day in Wuhan

I just discussed this equation in my #CedarsSinai cost-effectiveness grad school class. It's among the most important equations in all of medicine (pic shows simplified version in neon lights). Anyone know what this equation is and why it's so vital to clinical decision-making?

1/ You hear it all the time: American health care spends more money and produces worse outcomes than other developed countries around the world. But why?
To answer these questions, Vox reporters traveled the world to see other health systems in action: vox.com/covered

Got #GERD? Today we published a new study of 71K people using our app, mygi.health, to learn about acid reflux in America. We found nearly 1 in 3 have GERD symptoms. Of those, 54% still have symptoms despite using meds. More from @CedarsSinai: cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/ac…

Can’t tell what’s a bigger challenge:
Being a medical person at a digital health/ tech company or a tech/innovation person at a pharma/ health plan/ health system? – at San Francisco, CA

When a patient can't seem to get a diagnosis for what ails them, they turn to the Center for the Undiagnosed Patient at #CedarsSinai. 🔍 ceda.rs/2RV8s2z
