It’s time for the biweekly #COVID19 update! Things are actually looking up - especially in states that are following the science. Only when we work together can we actually end this #pandemic - keep #masking , get #vaccinated

Omicron is everywhere - but some people say it's less severe, so who cares? What's up with the latest CDC change in guidelines? Is 5 days isolation enough? And what's the deal with "flurona"? Find out in this video. #COVID #Omicron #COVID19 #MedTwitter

🧐Much discussed and theorized, here is some data behind the decreased evidence of #olfactory dysfunction seen with #omicron 🤨I suspect the amount of #smell loss and distortion will continue to vary over time as new variants inevitably arise.

An incredible learning experience and so worthwhile - despite the craziness of adding one more thing to my already packed schedule - this knowledge will allow me to help even more patients than I could ever hope to treat on my own. Innovation is what moves medicine forward!

I tell my smell patients the longer they go before intervention, the harder to bring smell back. But I also tell them not to lose hope, because I’ve also seen people recover after years of dysfunction. It pairs reality and motivation with hope. I’ve found that works best.

Patients are still receiving advice from their ENTs that unless recovery from Covid related #smellloss has happened within a year there is no hope. This is not what we see in our communities. Full recovery after three years 👇 #anosmia #parosmia #Longcovid

A somewhat misleading headline in @Nature today.🫤 “Three weeks after treatment began, all groups reported similar symptom scores.” That includes placebo group. Unfortunately, this drug doesn’t appear to decrease rate of long term #smell loss.

New pill helps COVID smell and taste loss fade quickly

Nature - The antiviral drug ensitrelvir eases both smell and taste loss, and is one of the few COVID-19 drugs available to people not at high risk of grave illness.
