Define medical professional? I am an executive who regularly assists with running one of the best hospitals in the region, including decision making, training of physicians and nursing, and writing policies and sit on several regional committees concerning hospital and healthcare changes. I’d say that qualifies over mad’s continuing obsession with tik tok memes

You often present your opinions as if coming from a Dr instead of an admin. Some of those tiktoks are actual doctors

Doctors aren’t the end all be all of all information and some are quacks on both sides. And if you talked to the actual drs in this region they would tell you that tik tok and Twitter is a joke

Another note:

The majority of practicing doctors that would be on TikTok are sharing from the limited scope of their limited clinical practice area.

An admin, manager, or someone in procurement and supply chain (as an example), is having to manage scarcities, resources, etc. in their facility/facilities based on the combined data and anecdotes coming in.

Who's the better expert?

I'm claiming someone with a macro view that has to manage limited resources probably has to see what's going on better, yes.

Nearly all doctors and nurses aren't virologists. What would make them more qualified? The handful of patients they see? Doctors and nurses treat acute issues, they don't have to do any planning or pandemic management.

Once again, you show you've got zero critical thinking skills. Honk honk.

Across the hundreds of facilities I support in medical supply management we watched the ones approaching COVID with panic (and usually trusting their local doctors alone) waste millions on PPE that would have been better used elsewhere (one facility ordered 60 million masks at the behest of their "clinician team").

In summary, no, I don't think a clinician will by default know more about pandemics then anyone else.

New variant in France has '46 mutations' from original Covid

The variant has been given the name B.1.640.2

An emergence of a new Covid-19 variant discovered in the South of France is worrying scientists.

The variant showed "an atypical combination", with 12 patients testing positive in the same region.

Experts believe it may have originated in Africa, with the first identified case having returned from travelling to Cameroon.

"46 mutations" have been identified in the variant in a pre-print paper, that is yet to be peer reviewed, from from French government-backed experts.

So explain how taking a test will keep infections low?

If I go to get tested, and it turns out I have COVID, then how can me getting the test help me at that point?

You'll do the right thing and stay home, as you would with the flu or other communicable ailment.
