Fauci: Common endpoints, common parameters provide "bridge" between #COVID19 vaccine trials. "We are cautiously optimistic" for a vaccine "by the end of the calendar year" because of favorable animal studies, though distribution will be later #ACR20 @Rheumnow. https://t.co/vPLEYiGKam

A reminder or the fundamentals to curbing COVID19 per Dr. Anthony Fauci at #ACR20:
1. Everyone needs to wear a mask
2. Maintain 6 feet distance from others
3. Avoid crowds & congregations
4. Outdoor better than indoors
5. Wash your hands frequently

Tracking CRP in the hyper-acute phase of admission for #COVID19 predictive of progression to critical illness- suggests trends of inflammatory biomarkers, not absolute admission values, may be most useful for triage & therapy.
