The longest running study on happiness:

Wow distances and magnitude of size could be so deceiving… until you see a video like this. Io is my favorite 🌙twitter.com/stem_feed/stat…V
Wastewater data versus detected cases
This was a terrible time to pull back on public masking in crowded spaces that people cannot avoid
Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD Oil prices are down about 20% from a multiyear peak in March but the prices Americans are paying for gas still hover near record levels. Here's a look at what shapes gas prices. wsj.com/articles/why-i…
Vaccines and myocarditis/pericarditis: a new systematic review of >400 million doses of various vaccines, from 1947 -> 2021

Did the #BA2 wave just came and pass the Houston metro— thanks to high prior infection rates and vaccinations?
Cautiously optimistic @PrathitKulkarni @PeterHotez
The wastewater data support my theory, cases are slowly rising.
Why there is no uptick in #covid19 in USA despite high proportion of #BA2 in new infections? I think the wave is a few weeks behind Europe. Interesting article via @nytimes nytimes.com/2022/04/06/bri…
The front of my son’s handmade birthday card to me ❤️. “Terrible ideas” is right 😂 but I am a bit skeptical of the anatomy & physiology🧐. Need Neuro help. @aartisarwala@nikhilpatelmdm@ChristaSwishere@WesElyMDM@jcjackson686@JER_CCNSN@drdangayachc@virenkaulutZ

Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD “Too sick to exercise” is the wrong choice both in critical care boards and in real life.
Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD When South Korea, a model country for the pandemic, has >400,000 new cases in a day, leading the world per capita, you take notice. Tests 4X the US with <1/6th the population. BA.2 is 26% as of this week's report.
Very high 2-shot vaxx 87%, 3-shot 63%. The pandemic isn't over.
Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD I love this! Standard time would have been better, though this is far better than going back and forth twice a year ! via @nytimes @AASMmembership @CHESTSleep nytimes.com/2022/03/15/us/…
I love the new #principles of #sleepmedicine and the neurophysiology/ neurotransmitter section has expanded but I miss the unifying chapter like the last edition. I feel this format has further distanced clinical practitioners with basic scientists @mhkryger @aasmfoundation

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
So I swear I see my reflection

Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD I feel sad to read this @nytimes article. US healthcare resources are adequate if not superior. I think this data bed to be teased carefully so that constructive improvements can be made #omicron #covid19 #healthdisparity
I am torn between being a doctor supporting COVID vaccines and a tennis player. I don’t want to go into the politics why @DjokerNole couldn’t play in Australian open but I missed his game. Djokovic please get the shot. It’s not that bad - I already got it 3 times #austtraliaopen
What happens when one of the best vaccinated (90% total population) countries in the world gets Omicron?

Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD Should @WSJ editors leave medical op-Ed to medical experts? Who agrees that being vaccinated is “doubly pointless”? @AllysiaFinley wsj.com/articles/djoko…
December 23! This is the cover of volume 1 of Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine. Getting this finished during COVID was tough. That is a story for another day. @guy_lesch @adrian_ajwsleep @YalePCCSM @AASMmembership @atscommunity @SleepReview @NEJM
Retweeted by Ritwick Agrawal MD More unprecedented severe weather is unfolding in the USA as we speak.
The warmth racing north through areas to the east of the Rockies likely to break many December records. We are talking about 30-40°F warmer than average.
The warmth is only a part of the story...

Another novel way to manage #covid19. Low dose whole lung radiation 🫁 This is a small study but if proven in RCTs we should do this instead of daily chest X-rays @accpchestt sciencedirect.com/science/articl…S
There's been a lot of new data for Omicron in the last day, much still preliminary, but here's my summary of the good and bad

Without consent, Guedel filled a patient's mouth with fluid to show that his cuffed ET tube prevented aspiration (1928). Griffith gave curare with no consent (1942). These ideas were a success, but were there also bad ideas? Beecher's article on consent for research was in 1966.
