This was the first inning of KMA’s virtual meeting for 2020. I am convinced that in-person learning is vastly superior to electronic but I’m so grateful that KMA was able to pull this off. Special thanks to KMA staff, Barbara Logan, and Drs. Tailor, Stack, and Hester. 👏
"The virus had a headstart on us. We are constantly learning new information." Panelists @StevenStackMD, Dr. Steven Hester of @Norton_Health, Barbara Logan of @StElizabethNKY and moderator @Dr_MonalisaKY discuss the #COVID19 pandemic during #KYMA2020's first virtual town hall

This was an exciting project to work on. It will help minimize contact risk, extend PPE, and we are going to use it to enhance education in the clinical years and for Gross Anatomy this fall.

KMA is proud of the more than 260 medical students who registered to volunteer their services during the #COVID19 pandemic, as announced yesterday by @StevenStackMD. That number represents nearly 50% of the state's medical students #MSOL @universityofky @uoflmedschool @upikebears

With 20,875 confirmed cases; New York about to overtake Iran (23,049 cases) in terms of reported #COVID19 burden. NY is likely few weeks ahead of some other U.S. cities. Most troubling: Cities with sizable spread that aren't yet taking good mitigation steps (New Orleans, Florida)

Lexington now has 405 confirmed #flu cases, up 59 from last week, with 3 flu-related deaths. This is just a small fraction of the flu actually in the community since it only covers lab-confirmed cases. About 80% of the confirmed cases had not received a flu shot. #fluseason
ALT Flu fact: each year thousands of children younger than 5 are hospitalized from flu.
