1/The absolute key to beating this pandemic is testing to identify any and all positive patients, isolating them until they test negative. This will temporize the pandemic allowing us time to develop therapeutic drugs, study therapeutics in clinical trials, and develop a vaccine
2/Lessons from Singapore and Wuhan,China should serve as lessons for us here. Containment is always the primary objective. Let us not give up on containment.
Mitigation is not appropriate for #coronavirus. That maybe okay for the flu, but not #COVIDー19
3/ We must test, test, and test some more. We must identify all positives and isolate them until they test negative. We must use technology and track all their potential exposed contacts and test/quarantine them. Social distancing, lockdown, and testing will contain this disease.

What other providers are suggesting to help w #COVID19. Courtesy of many from Facebook.

1. Reduce RN trips into rooms. Move IV pumps outside of rooms and run lines inside. Foleys. Cluster med admin times. Inflatable mattresses to turn pts who don’t have to be prone. 1/10
2. Consolidate others entering room (visitors, consults, meals, registration, phlebotomy, rad techs). Better yet, have ppl already going in room bring tray/do labs. Telemedicine consults, telestroke. Use room phone to staff after pre-rounds. And decrease labs and imaging! 2/10
3. Intubate, A-Line, and C-line all at once (that means orders and consent all at once)

5. Don’t repeat exams trainees or midlevels already did; do first stroke exam in front of telestroke, which should already be located in the ICU. 3/10
