Can the novel coronavirus present with digestive symptoms instead of respiratory symptoms?
Clinical Symptoms
Ashley Ritter, APRN, PhD
A: Yes. FEVER and RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS (including cough and shortness of breath) remain the most common presenting symptoms.

The study alerts healthcare providers to consider alternative presentations of this new virus. Read more…

Can the novel coronavirus present with digestive symptoms instead of respiratory symptoms?
Clinical Symptoms
Ashley Ritter, APRN, PhD
A: Yes. FEVER and RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS (including cough and shortness of breath) remain the most common presenting symptoms. A new study came out today highlighting a subset of people who instead presented to hospitals with digestive symptoms (loss of appetite and diarrhea). The study alerts healthcare providers to consider alternative presentations of this new virus. Read more…

Data and Metrics
Alison Buttenheim, PhD MBA, Co-founder & Advisor
A: No, it’s not, in many ways. Infographic below lays it out nicely. Big differences are: * COVID-19 has a higher “R0” or reproductive number –1 sick person can infect 2.0-2.5 other people. * COVID-19 has a longer “incubation period” — time interval from exposure to symptoms. (And more time when you can asymptomatically “shed” Read more…

Even more reasons for collective vigilance: New data from CDC the suggests that young people make up a significant fraction of those hospitalized with COVID-19 thus far in the US: 38% of those hospitalized were between 20 and 54, with nearly half of ICU admissions under age 65. Fortunately, the youngest age group, people 19 Read more…
How about a brief pause from the heavy-duty data (Pueyo’s The Hammer and the Dance? Yeah, we’ll post it soon) for some lighter fare. What drinks have you been mixing up for those Zoom happy hours? Links to recipes, please! Washington Post Quarantini Article Link to original FB article
Can the novel coronavirus present with digestive symptoms instead of respiratory symptoms?
Clinical SymptomsAshley Ritter, APRN, PhD
A: Yes. FEVER and RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS (including cough and shortness of breath) remain the most common presenting symptoms. A new study came out today highlighting a subset of people who instead presented to hospitals with digestive symptoms (loss of appetite and diarrhea). The study alerts healthcare providers to consider alternative presentations of this new virus. Read more…

Isn’t COVID-19 basically like flu?
Data and Metrics
Alison Buttenheim, PhD MBA, Co-founder & Advisor
A: No, it’s not, in many ways. Infographic below lays it out nicely. Big differences are: * COVID-19 has a higher “R0” or reproductive number –1 sick person can infect 2.0-2.5 other people. * COVID-19 has a longer “incubation period” — time interval from exposure to symptoms. (And more time when you can asymptomatically “shed” Read more…

Good news! (and we sure need some) Dogs and cats are extremely unlikely to contract coronavirus from people or the other way around. Love up on your pets! Can pets serve as a conduit of infection? (article from UIUC Vet School) Link to original FB post
Is Advil safe during the COVID-19 crisis?
Staying Safe
Lindsey Leininger, PhD MA
Yesterday’s guidance: No. Today’s: Maybe?! Careful, accurate science takes a lot of time to produce. The need for action in the face of this pandemic doesn’t provide it. Result: We may see frequent guideline revisions (along with a sprinkle of experts temporarily disagreeing amongst each other) as we ride things out. The good news: Scientific Read more…
