A study published in @atscommunity suggests that half of patients treated for a mild #COVID19 infection still have the virus for up to 8 days after symptoms resolve. Physicians are advised to treat these patients as carefully as those who are symptomatic. bit.ly/33YcJKa

I tested positive for #COVIDー19 - My symptoms are mild - chest pressure, a cough, a mild fever. I have been in quarantine since I learned I’d been exposed to confirmed positive cases - discussing on @CBSThisMorning at 7:30a - i think it’s important we inform and stop the spread – at Rome, Lazio

Americans: if you are sick with fever/cough/ flu symptoms, please don’t go to work! Employers: PLEASE understand giving your employees flexibility and (paid) sick leave will save you money in the long run- it’s much cheaper than shutting down because everyone else gets sick!

Answer: repeat spirometry following smoking cessation. ~25% of #COPD patients will have normal spirometry after 5 years of smoking cessation. Even among continued smokers, ~10% will have normal spirometry at repeat testing. Read atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1…
Quiz: What if I told you that we can cure some #COPD patients with a diagnostic test? What test would that be? Answer Sunday.
