Even young SLE patients are still at high risk of severe COVID:
- in general pop, age is key factor

I see that despite the condensing of the #ACR22 to 3 days, people are keeping the tradition of leaving at the start of the last day despite it now being a full day. Personally don't think the 3 day meeting has worked, its too packed. @RheumNow
