So it appears the way covid kills is by causing vasoconstriction in the pulmonary capillaries. This increases the pressure in them, causing them to breach and leak fluid into the

@asymmetricinfo As an epidemiologist, I'm amazed that the only thing that's discussed about Covid-19 and the lockdown is mortality. It's not just mortality, though. A 25% pulmonary function deficit that

I've been critical of @fordnation & @celliottability due to a lack of planning for #COVID19 & little foresight for patient care. Now, they have unilaterally forced a loan onto @OntariosDoctors.

Trying to achieve “herd immunity” to #COVID19 through infection rather than a vaccine is a very bad idea. This is not only because health services will be overwhelmed, leading to

Y’all I’ve gotten some great insight regarding COVID. Over the past few nights I’ve made some observations. And COVID is more of a vascular problem than a pulmonary problem, but

Back to #pulmonology quick hits! Today I'll present a schema for the PULM MANIFESTATIONS OF LUPUS – all info from https://www.uptodate.com/contents/pulmonary-manifestations-of-systemic-lupus-erythematosus-in-adults#H402634822 First,

To explain our rationale...COVID-19 seems to present as 2 phenotypes: initially high compliance with poor V/Q match and low recruitability, ‘dry’ lungs; versus subsequent low compliance, ‘wet’ lungs, potentially recruitable.
