So, this is pretty stunning. @GaDPH is asking people to not go to the ER for non emergencies, because they're so overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. Check out the full release below.

@GaDPH I've been seeing a lot of chatter on here for the last few weeks about hospitals here or there being busy and on diversion. For the state's public health agency to feel like things were SO BAD they had to send this out ... yikes.

@GaDPH DPH stresses if you're having an emergency, you should still call 911 or go to an ER.

It doesn't go as far as saying "stay away for non emergencies," though the header of the release implies that.

So how can you reduce the burden on ERs?

In March, I was asked by the folks at @wabenews to put together a podcast all about the coronavirus pandemic.

This week, we released our 100th episode, all about how @CDCgov says we can celebrate Thanksgiving safely this year.

@wabenews @CDCgov The conversations that have stuck with me most have been about people's personal experiences with COVID.

@wabenews @CDCgov I've pushed the head of state agencies about data gaffes:

BREAKING: Just got an update from @GovKemp on the state's efforts to address a surge in COVID-19 cases and here are a few highlights after a quick read.

For one, looks like the GWCC will be back in business soon to take on patients.

@GovKemp But first, officials say they'll "leverage a new contract for enhanced bed capacity with a metro-Atlanta area hospital" with more details to come. Should add 100 surge and ICU beds.

Curious about the hospital--anyone got any tips to share?

2/n
Remember, and @GovKemp staff reminds, that the state has already sent out pop up ERS around the state (this was early this year) that remain deployed.

That's the meaty news, it seems. But of course there is other stuff!
