Is COVID-19 “just the flu?” Experts say no. #COVID patients face nearly five times the risk of death compared to those with the flu, according to a deep dive into federal data by researchers with #WashUMed and @STLOUISVA. (Research by @zalaly) medicine.wustl.edu/news/covid-19-…

As treatments for #COVID19 improve survival, long-term impacts need to be considered. New work from @zalaly on acute kidney injury. Note the high percentage NOT recovering by discharge.

National study of acute kidney injury (AKI) in COVID-19 32% had AKI 47% did not recover by discharge Substantial geographic variability 10% - 56% Between March-July, AKI rates declined 40% - 27% @BCBowe @Miao_Cai_SLU @CJASN @VAResearch @vahsrd cjasn.asnjournals.org/content/early/…

Income is a major determinant of health. The looming economic downturn (recession or depression) will likely have a significant negative impact on the health of a lot of people in the years to come. Terrific piece @iarynam @nytopinion #dataviz nytimes.com/interactive/20…

to identify themselves as a “friend of VA” when donating blood or plasma at an AABB-certified lab. VA will then get credit toward receiving plasma to give to Veterans who are ill with COVID-19. See covidplasma.org for more information.

Note: To help support the use of convalescent plasma as an investigational treatment for VA patients with COVID-19, please encourage Veterans, friends, and family members who have a lab diagnosis of COVID-19 and have been symptom-free for 28 days
