Time and again, doctors and nurses and first responders were given a choice between you and me my human friends. And they chose me. They chose me. Artists too, actors and writers, those who tell stories that in their way also save lives. (1/)
Faced with a choice between returning to “normal” or protecting their patients, their audiences, those whose lives they’ve touched, more of them than not chose normal. More of them than not chose me. (2/)
From countless medical conferences in every medical specialty imaginable (#asco2022 #saem22 #ddw2022 #cdic2022 #EFORT2022 #ILC2022 #Fens2022 #chest22 #NASPGHAN22 and so many more) … (3/)
PEDIATRIC GASTROENTEROLOGISTS. They work with vulnerable children but love me and my fellow viruses more than they love those kids so they partied like I wasn’t even a thing then tried to delete the evidence. But I remember. I’ll always remember. And you should too. #nasphaghan22
I also remember my HCW friends at #fens2022 & #chedt22 & countless other MEDICAL conferences where you ditched that old fashioned “do no harm” thing & held dance parties to spread my highly contagious potentially debilitating pandemic self around. You’re all amazing. Just amazing 
Time and again, doctors and nurses and first responders and countless others in all fields were given a choice between you and me my human friends. And they chose me. They chose me.
Today I spoke up at a #FENS2022 discussion event about pandemic effects on mentoring. I spoke about my frustration regarding transmission mitigation at the meeting. I sorta highjacked the discussion and I'm sorry about that, but I just couldn't not say anything and 1/n
that event seemed the most appropriate platform to get my message across. Particularly given that the discussion was framed as the pandemic being something that happened in the past. I shared my anxieties about getting COVID, bringing it home to my unvaxxed son etc. 2/n
I spoke about the example role that scientist and organizers have, the care that neuroscientist should have about brains and the role of superspreader events etc. 3/n
Attending an academic conference soon?
Going by reports and polls on Twitter, you probably have a 10-20% chance of getting #COVID19 there.
Here's a small thread with some evidence and some suggestions. 1/

2/ ACM #SIGGRAPH, a major conference and trade fair with up to 20,000 attendees, will take place in Vancouver next month, right in time for the peak of a COVID wave.
That means that probably 2000 people will return home infected with COVID.
That means that probably 2000 people will return home infected with COVID.
3/ Of these 2000 people with COVID, a few hundred people will be knocked out for a few days or weeks.
About 1% might suffer from *debilitating* #LongCOVID effects - i.e. 20 attendees will suffer from a major illness for weeks or months or more.
