This was a great Localization Rounds! It had a little bit of everything... CNS and PNS localization, intrigue, some red herrings, and a little more intrigue. Thanks to @_MarissaDSouza_ for bringing your first case!
1 / 6. Localization rounds time! The patient is a 60 year old woman with 6 months of progressive leg weakness, now wheelchair bound. No sensory symptoms, and no upper extremity, ocular, bulbar, or respiratory weakness.@NMatch2022 #neurotwitter #NeuroTwitterNetwork

Today we are asking Minnesotans to hit pause on social activities, in-person dining, sports, and gyms – where we are seeing the largest rates of transmission – for four weeks. This virus is like a wildfire – wherever there is wood to burn, it will burn. #DialBackMN

New #COVID19 cases continue to increase nationwide, including in small cities and rural communities. Death rates are also highest in these areas. Do your part to slow the spread with these healthy habits: wear a mask, wash your hands, stay 6 feet apart. bit.ly/2GWgbOl

As a medical student, I do a lot of compartmentalizing. It's easy to forget that a hospitalization is a once in a lifetime experience for many people. It's not just a "visit to the" hospital"- it's that somebody has decided you are sick enough to require a "stay in the" hospital.
Replying to @COVID19Tracking
Current COVID-19 hospitalizations continued to rise through the weekend. This trend persisted even though many states do not report complete numbers, and a few—Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, and Kansas—do not report any at all.

Wondering what our new ‘normal’ may look like during the #COVID19 pandemic? Check out my #tweetorial about adapting to new normals and how we can limit the spread of the virus and reduce the burden on healthcare resources within our #OneMinnesota community. #COVIDclassroomUMN

And remember … taking care of yourself is critical toward adjusting to our new normal. #MentalHealthMatters
