Happy match day to all my wonderful docs out there! No matter where you end up, you’ve worked incredibly hard missing birthdays, weddings, and other life events all during a global pandemic. You are amazing. #Match2023

COVID-19 as the Underlying Cause of Death Among Individuals Aged 0 to 19 Years in the US

This cross-sectional study evaluates whether COVID-19 is among the top 10 causes of death in children and young people aged 0 to 19 years in the US.

People who haven't had COVID will likely catch XBB.1.5 – and many will get reinfected, experts say

New COVID variant XBB.1.5 is very contagious, meaning everyone is at risk for infection even if you've already had COVID. Here's what that means.

VV116 was developed in China 🇨🇳. However, it is NOT yet approved or marketed anywhere (except in Uzbekistan 🇺🇿).
As a result, VV116 won't have a major impact on the on-going tsunami of cases in China. https://twitter.com/NEJM/status/1608223774004097024

"In March 2020, as the #Covid 19 pandemic swept across the United States, the nation’s pediatric providers and #pediatric units immediately pitched in to treat adults sickened by this then-mysterious and deadly disease. But now that the pediatric community is facing its own March 2020 with the confluence of Covid-19, #influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV), the response from outside this community has been slow."

Pediatricians and parents on the brink: This is their March 2020

The slow response to the the confluence of Covid-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus among children speaks volumes about how the U.S. prioritizes — or more accurately doesn't prioritize — the health of children.
