Took a while but fantastic to see the White House taking an active role in Hep C elimination. Francis Collins leading the way.
World Viral Hepatitis Testing Day. Great to see @POTUS highlight the importance of testing - the first step to get to elimination. Time for leaders everywhere to get behind this! Calling on @JustinTrudeau to be next!

Led by @jjfeld and colleagues @UHN #TCLD and @UofTGastro @UofT_DoM. Interferon lambda decreases viral load and improves recovery in persons with COVID-19!
Nice to finally get the data out. Interferon lambda works well for outpatients with Covid-19- especially those with high viral loads - the group most likely to get sick and to spread the infection to others...more to come

It's World Hepatitis Day! If you were born from 1945 to 1975 - you should be tested for Hep C. We can only cure those we diagnose.
