French PM says covid is not over and calls for wearing a mask in public transport.

As they say here in Belgium "when it rains in Paris, it drizzles in Brussels", so I hope to hear something similar from our own government soon. #bringmasksback #CovidIsNotOver

Tomorrow we are going to be discussing STOP-ACEi on NephJC. The main chat will be on Twitter, #NephJC to follow, but I'll be straddling both platforms and try to port some of the tweets and interesting observations using @NephJC.

This is a great resource, if anyone asks about the science behind masks and their use - thanks for compiling it, @Billius27@twitter.com. It won’t sway people who are vehemently against the idea that we #BringBackMasks, but it will help people who want to learn more. https://billius27.substack.com/p/masks-evidence-and-use

Again, when people push the narrative that all Chinese nationals are "bots", have no personal agency, aren't creative (like machines), are brainwashed ants- this is not harmless speculation. These are racist attempts to dehumanize us- and most of you quietly accept it.

Only ten months into the year, Canada is seeing
- more people in their 70s dying of covid than any other year (3,614 - orange)
- record-setting pace for those in their 60s
- more in their 50s have already died than in 2020

If Canada's public health leaders are still scratching their heads on how to do their job this winter, here's some free evidence-based tips:

Fit-Tested N95 Masks Combined With Portable High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filtration Can Protect Against High Aerosolized Viral Loads Over Prolonged Periods at Close Range https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/226/2/199/6582941#.YwrYRF8SgGQ.twitter

@PAWellingMD introduce yourself using the #Introduction hashtag?
Include your interests with a hashtag Eg #Hypertension #Kidneys #Potassium? (BTW one can follow these hashtags too - which is cool)
Still learning besides you …so more tips welcome

@Macleod199 @nilikm @erin
🙋🏽‍♂️kidney doctor from TOH
@yonifreedhoff is here of course - most of us on med-mastodon instance
Haven’t seen anyone else yet, nor the official institutes like OPH, TOH, UofO etc

We need more neph content on #mastodon, everyone at @SevenOaksCDIC (@NavTangri @BohmClara @paulkomenda and sorry @CRigsMb I know you just got forced onto twitter) let's go

@DrWeintraub as an example see this from PI during the #NephJC discussion from https://twitter.com/willkidney/status/1592914627343499265?s=46&t=4FKUp3ADkY24lMM5oCp7VQ

Another reminder that you can help colleagues find you by adding your information to the #MedMastodon Yellow Pages. Totally optional but a nice way to help build community if you feel comfortable sharing.

For an NSF grant form, I had to write down the names of all coauthors in the last 48 months. Apparently, I co-authored journal publications with 40 (!!) different researchers in the last 4 years!! What a fantastic thing it is to collaborate in science!!!

Statpearls entry about #flozins Sodium Glucose contransporter 2 inhibitors.
Is it in need of updating after #EMPAKIDNEY ?

@hswapnil @mike_johansen This is cool! We are working on medication specific guidelines to harmonize prescriptions of #Flozins, #GLP1ra, #nsMRA etc across #primarycare, #cardiology, #endocrinology and #nephrology, which has been a fun project. I think at our institution, nephrology prescribed most aggressively, but that is probably the effect of having Amy Mottl in our division.

@EvanZeitler @mike_johansen we made this in Ontario https://www.ontariorenalnetwork.ca/en/kidney-care-resources/clinical-tools/primary-care-tools/kidneywise/toolkit
(We = Scott Brimble, #Nephrologist Allan Grill #familymedicine & team)
- need to add #Flozins etc

Any role for CAR-T in C3GN? #AskRenal @Askrenal

👋 Hi!

Is #TaraMoriarity of the #UniversityOfToronto #MoriarityLab on here?
She does the #CanadianCovidIndex, which is very useful.

In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”

The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”

She was sent to jail. https://web.archive.org/web/20210315143406/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-15/from-the-archives-wear-slacks-to-court-and-go-to-jail
