Absolutely, I can do that. I think after all our work, we should definitely submit it. And, we can add that because of our expertise in TB, we are being asked to assist with contact tracing and assisting with testing, contacting positives and being confidential when we do, without any training. Okay, probably should say it better, but you get the drift.
Florida is exploding as we speak, and I've been working 17 hour days helping with the contact tracing, etc. There are so many that are sick, but we're finding the ones we need to and educating them. It really has been very rewarding. I feel like a nurse
again :-)

Not too many cases – I don’t think. But we are all on a stay at home order now. Which since I already was working from home – not that big of a change for me. But still is unnerving to watch all that is unfolding, huh?
I had a request for help too. I am thinking going to try and submit the Lancet article still – I am going to work on the references – but would you be able to check that I am properly formatting them. I am going to use the one that you added as an example. But wanted to have someone come along after me and check them over.

I want to say “THANK YOU” from the bottom of my heart to all of the TB Nurses today on World TB Day!
Nurses do so many great things in this world in caring for people on a normal day to day and during a crisis.
To those of you that work on the frontlines providing direct patient care your dedication and courage does not go unnoticed. To those that provide support in a myriad of ways to the nurses doing direct patient care – our work is important too! Together we all make a difference in each patient’s life and to the community around us.
During this time when you are giving so much of yourself to others – be sure and take a small bit of time for yourself each day to tend to your needs.
Take good care and stay healthy,
