If demand for care > supply of care, it’s not going to be good.
“calculations based on CDC’s scenarios suggested, 2.4M-21M people in US could require hospitalization, potentially crushing the nation’s medical system, which has only ~925,000 staffed 🏥beds” apple.news/ATIiJ5HFZTGmvu…
That’s why we should all listen to the experts and do everything we can to #FlattenTheDemandCurve.
Supply is basically fixed at this point. Demand is all you can change.
Please listen to experts like @DrDenaGrayson on how to slow the infection rate and thereby decrease the demand curve for care.

Algorithmic pricing allowed for the price gouging on Amazon to spiral out of control. Who makes algorithms? People do. There need to be guardrails on these things, for the common good....

“Hey Lou why did the market rally so hard into the close!?”
My general feeling is:
because it’s Friday, there are a ton of unknown covid19 data points coming out during the next two days before Asia opens Sunday night, and everybody wants to:
GIF translation: everyone wants to: Take their shorts off!
Short positions are inherently riskier than long positions. Why? In plain language: Because if you buy a stock at $10 and the world goes to shit, all you lose is $10. Your downside is 100% of what you put in.
Whereas...
...If you short sell a stock for $10 and all goes gangbusters for that stock, the stock could go to $1,000,000 and now you’re out $999,990. Your downside is basically infinity.
That’s super simplified but it’s a reason some traders don’t like to keep shorts on over the weekend.

I need pancakes.
A benefit of #WorkFromHomeLife:
Ask and ye shall receive (from thyself).
And yeah, my pancakes look weird because I add whey protein to the mix because I’m a monster.

⚠️"Worst-case" #coronavirus scenario in the US from @CDCgov:

▶️160 million–214 million infected
▶️Outbreak lasts months–1 year, waves of infections staggered across time in different communities
▶️200,000–1.7 million deaths

#CoronavirusPandemic #COVID19
nytimes.com/2020/03/13/us/…
Based on CDC's #coronavirus estimates, 2.4 million–21 million may require hospitalization, potentially overwhelming hospitals that only have ~925,000 hospital beds with <10% ICU beds.

This is why we must act NOW to #FlattenTheCurve.

#CoronavirusPandemic
We can decrease the impact of the #CoronavirusPandemic by aggressively testing for #COVID19 (except Trump *bungled* this), tracing contacts, and reducing human interactions by stopping large gatherings, working from home and curbing travel.

But we must act NOW.

#CDC & Hollywood Ties Run Deep

CDC funding awarded to the “Hollywood, Health & Society Program" is at least $1.75 million. This has resulted in 400 television + episodes “which have contained public health information.”

@Tiff_FitzHenry

@med1cinewoman
This federally funded program has worked with writers from “ER,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “House,” the various “Law & Order” and “CSI” shows, “Star Trek,” “Desperate Housewives,” and numerous soap operas such as “General Hospital,” among others.

.@SecAzar on all the morning network shows making the same false claim that "We have & always have had the capacity to test anybody who's suspected of novel coronavirus."

And @GStephanopoulos doesn't challenge him on that.

THREAD: A brief review of Catch-22 when it comes to #Coronavirus and need for more diagnostic screening capability. Hospitals can roll out RT-PCR based test CDC developed. They all have Roche systems to run these tests. The technology is fairly straightforward. Here’s the rub 1/9
Hospitals could advance these tests as Laboratory Developed Tests or LDTs, meaning they develop them in house. But since HHS declared a public health emergency related to #Coronavirus, hospitals are now expected to get FDA permission to use their own tests fda.gov/emergency-prep…
Following the public health emergency declaration, HHS is expected to issue a declaration justifying Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to facilitate the development of diagnostics and therapeutics for #Coronavirus medtechdive.com/news/amid-coro…

Learnt a new hack today on Microsoft Word. When you are done with an essay and you want to imagine how it will sound or read to your intended audience.
--> click the "Review" tab
--> click the "Read Aloud" option
Then listen.
A very good option to review your essay.
Glad a lot of people found this useful. I also offer useful health advice along with other doctors for free on wellvis.org.
It's free, and you can ask health questions anonymously.

Folks, please listen: Donald Trump is a lot of things—arrogant, belligerent, narcissistic, dishonest, dumb—but do you know what he isn’t? He’s not the problem. He’s a symptom.

Thread:
For some reason (I’m pretty sure I know the reason) many people seem to think if we oust Trump from office, everything can go back to being hunky-dory.
But the thing is, it wasn’t hunky-dory *before* him. It’s just that liberals didn’t care because things were going mostly fine for *them*.

The problem is that both parties abandoned regular people when Clinton won in 1992.
