Know anyone who is still masking or working to avoid covid to some degree? Maybe they feel more isolated or limited socially, and having more social options that match their precautions would help.

There's a free "Covid Conscious" friends and dating match system beginning. Open to all walks of life.

It's launching in Oregon, while also offering to help anyone who wants to start their own local group anywhere else.

A community building niche for people who struggle to find others will do a lot of people some good, please spread the word.

@erictopol for most of my career life-expectancy in the UK has been increasing, new medical treatments have been introduced or standard of care has improved. We are now living, in an austerity and COVID 19 era, where life expectancy is decreasing and it seems likely the prevalence of ill health will increase. Progress is not a given- a hard lesson to live #medmastadon

https://health-study.joinzoe.com/data-v3 ZOE - tracking #covid in the UK. I do not like the shape of the curve, last wave’s peak formed a nasty plateau and now on up. Certainly personally seeing a significant amount of COVID related illness and this is anecdotally the case elsewhere. Feels like a new variant, a bit out of touch with the variant tracking - tips #medmastadon ?

@seachanger it’s searchable by hashtags ie #MedMastadon
This means it takes more members putting hashtags in their posts. These are also good for your bio description. I’m finding lots of good folks and posts by searching hashtags.

It’s nearly impossible to find solid info on when to get boosted and with what. If I got bivalent in September anyone have a sense of when I am ok to get a norovax booster? Is norovax still considered the right move? I have to attend a high risk work event soon (super privileged to be able to avoid such risks normally). While I will be n95 masked up, I’d love norovax to also be on my side. #covid #MedMastadon #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

I've been explaining to patients for years that they don't need annual lipids. Nice to have it confirmed again in this episode of my favorite podcast.

We even have some third party administrators (TPAs) that here require them of insured patients.

These are only about $20 at our office but the big hospital network here in #Maine charges over $100 for a lipid panel test. That comes out of pocket for many patients.
