Friends, consider leaving time each morning to call your Senators/Rep and demand they stay in Washington until we have a clear national plan to combat COVID19.

The President has failed, can't be trusted in the days ahead. Congress must step up. ndn.org/essay/2020/03/…
2/Consider donating to @JoeBiden and help get the general election against the worst President in American or any nation's history off to a great start.

secure.joebiden.com/onlineactions/…
3/Consider donating to one of the top Democrats running for Senate:

@Hickenlooper
@SaraGideon
@CaptMarkKelly
@CalforNC
@stevebullockmt
@AmyMcGrathKY

We have a very good chance of winning the Senate this year and your support will make a difference.
4/This is a time for "big citizenship" - call your Reps, pressure them to step up and do what's needed now.

Give to @JoeBiden, the top Senate candidates.

There is light at the end of this dark tunnel. Let's work together, fight hard and get it done.

1/Notes on @COVID19Tracking daily update:

Testing improving, but still very slowly. Per capita US has now done as many tests over past 8 weeks as SKorea does daily; and we still have to be at 4x current rate to match SKorea's daily rate. While better, still a long way to go.
2/Positives jumped fr 11k to 17k today. Current rate of growth closer to 50% than 33%. According to the @FT below, last few days among fastest growth rate recorded anywhere in the world this year. Not good. cc @POTUS
3/Are these worrisome numbers going to force the President to finally do something to fight @COVID19?

US has no plan. We aren't mass testing, nor are we locking everything down. Not surprisingly the virus is spreading really really fast.

1/Short thread.

Seriously, wtf does the President think he is doing?

He has no plan to combat the virus. There is nothing. The travel bans haven't worked. The virus is exploding. The testing regime still isn't working properly. The health care system is already failing.
2/Why can't people around him, Ivanka, GOP leaders prevail on him to do something, anything to stop the virus?

Adopt the South Korea model - mass testing/isolation.

Surge funding for hospitals/equipment/beds, train newly unemployed to support?
3/How can he get up there each day on TV and pretend like he is doing something when we all know he isn't? What is going on in the heads of those who in the WH? Do they understand that each day he does nothing more people will die, the economy/society will be more harmed?

1/Helpful thread, thanks @ClaraJeffery.

So today Trump finally launched a response to #COVID19 crisis.

These steps are 6-8 weeks late, but they are welcome and essential. The US government is finally waking up and doing its part.
2/I am grateful to all of you who joined us in making the case for many things Trump rolled out today.

But Congress cannot rest now - it must create some form of new partnership w/POTUS to make sure he follows through, continues to fight.
3/Things are going to get very bad here in the first wave of the virus in the coming weeks. While we are beginning to tackle the bed/equipment issue, we still need to fix whatever has gone wrong w/testing and also surge help to health care professionals/hospitals.

This thread is my story battling symptoms this last week. They started differently than what has been reported, which caused some confusion and later fear, and might have led to other's exposure. I believe there are a things we (collectively) can do to better combat #COVID
My wife (Melody) and I were exposed to someone that was sick and in our home a few days before we started seeing symptoms. Melody developed a mild fever, headache and was nauseous a little over a week ago. She also had digestive issues.
The next day, I started having the same issues and developed a rash on my biceps that lasted for a few hours. We didn’t think much of it, because these aren’t symptoms commonly described as being related to COVID-19 and we likely exposed other people.

Lots of talk about the expected surge in ICU and hosp beds with #COVID. I’ve been hearing about reducing elective case burden (great thread from @ajaykirtane about that). We should also be rethinking our hospital approach to conditions that will continue in the covid era 1/n
Most obvious is with #STEMI care. If your hospital doesn’t have an ED bypass protocol for stemis - probably a good time to develop one. Ours at @VHC_Hospital has 1 min pitstop in ed w ems txp to cath lab - less pt exposure time to ED and less burden on ED resources 2/n
Also with #STEMI care - No icu for stable pts w normal EF should be standard. For most of these pts ICU is not necc and creates unneeded exposure for pt and occupies much needed ICU beds. (I think @agtruesdell had a great thread on this a while back) 3/n

I gathered some alarming information on the rise of #COVID in Iran in this thread. I can see that it has been read by many hence increases my responsibility on what I share now.
As I stated before:

- I am not a trained reporter or journalist
- I am not based in Iran
- Not affiliated with any poilitical group, for or against the government
- Most of my information comes from the internet with occasional conversations with people in Iran
Today I shall try to gather information which I will share in the thread below.
