Dear colleagues,
“We do not have to test for COVID…”
Is not a reason to avoid testing for it where it is clinically indicated.
Sick people that would benefit from treatment are a must test group, at the very least.

We have a crisis in maternal health here in the U.S.
Black women are 3 - 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes and cuts to healthcare programs across the country will only make this worse!
This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we must fight like hell for the equity Black women deserve.

Sharing these numbers because I wasn't aware of them myself. In the US:
* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die
If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die
If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
Measles – NFID
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can result in severe, sometimes permanent, complications including pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and even death

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
