⚠️Across the country, hospitals are *already* overwhelmed, and it's only just the beginning.

INACTION = more people DIE.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? Nationwide #LockdownNow‼️

#Michigan's *largest* healthcare system has 635 #COVID19 patients and is nearing capacity for staff and ventilators.

INACTION = more deaths.

NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN NEEDED NOW‼️

#Louisiana's death toll from #COVID19 is surging similar to that of Italy and Spain, with the 3rd highest number of cases per capita in the US – behind #NY and #WA state.

INACTION = more deaths.

NATIONWIDE LOCKDOWN NEEDED NOW‼️

⚠️#COVID19 cases in the US continue to explode, as I predicted over a month ago. The number of new #coronavirus cases is DOUBLING *nearly every 2 days*.

This likely is due to more testing and exponentially fast viral spread.

Expect this trend to continue for several more weeks.
Unfortunately, NYC’s #COVID19 death toll continues to accelerate faster than *any* other region globally (albeit #China is hardly transparent).

The next 4-6 weeks in NYC will be very, very tough.

Unfortunately, the #COVID19 death toll of the entire US is also accelerating, as regions outside of #NYC report that their hospitals are at/over capacity with #coronavirus patients.

Expect this trend to continue for at least a few weeks.

Awful. @FDNY EMS paramedic Christell Cadet―who shared her #coronavirus struggle publicly last week from her hospital bed―is now in the ICU on a ventilator.🙏🏼

45 FDNY members (firefighters, EMS and civilians) tested positive for #COVID19.

Heroes.🇺🇸

nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny…
My heart aches for Christell and her loved ones, as well as for these other #FDNY heroes.

All first responders should be tested EVERY DAY for #coronavirus, because they're at HIGH RISK of being infected.

They should also be screened for protective antibodies (prior #COVID19).
We need to protect our brave first responders by quickly identifying/isolating those who are infected with the #coronavirus. This will also help to protect other staff and patients from getting #COVID19.

⚠️Death toll from #coronavirus surges in #NYC with deaths DOUBLING *nearly every day*, much faster than Northern #Italy (Lombardia) where hospitals are overwhelmed

#WA and #CA have less deaths, likely due to lower relative density of their populations.

The number of #coronavirus cases in the US continues to explode at the fastest pace at the same time point for *any* country.

Although #China likely covered up cases, the US still isn’t testing heavily.🤬

#COVID19 #CoronavirusPandemic
The total number of #coronavirus deaths in the US *appears* to be rising slower than other countries, but expect #COVID19 deaths to accelerate over the next few weeks, as more testing becomes available, and the virus continues to spread exponentially.

The stages of grief are not linear. They do not happen in a neat order. But it could be useful for you to know more about them as we collectively grieve the impact of #coronavirus

“There’s something powerful about naming this as grief. It helps us feel what’s inside of us. So many have told me in the past week,“I’m telling my coworkers I’m having a hard time,”or“I cried last night.”When you name it, you feel it & it moves through you. Emotions need motion”

I'll say it again folks... number two. Don't give in to it. More people die from the flu and pneumonia every year than #coronavirus ever will. Stop the fear.
Think about it. Why did they introduce 'pandemic bonds'...
It's for the $$$.

The correct framing on #coronavirus #COVIDー19 risks, and why the death rate of the virus is irrelevant:
Death is the most emotional subject we as humans must deal with. And we all must deal with it. But there is no truly rational way to deal with death. There are ways one could argue make life while living more enjoyable, but rationality is out of the question.
So, one of the primary ways we as humans deal with death is to create a heuristic about death. We think of deaths as normal or tragic. A 95-year-old passing away in their sleep surrounded by loved ones? We have a “celebration of life” rather than a grim funeral.

From James Robb, MD FCAP (thread via @SusanVermazen)

"When I was a professor of pathology at UC San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (in the 70s).

#CoronaVirus
#COVIDー19
@thespybrief
"I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.
"The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April. Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take.

A thread on why I am not panicking about #Coronavirus #COVID-19.
In 2003, the world experienced an outbreak of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). I was in med school. Initially, the illness seemed to be linked with travel to China, but the Chinese government was not saying anything about it.
The cause of SARS was completely unknown, and it was five months between the illness first appearing and the World Health Organization (WHO) becoming significantly involved, alerting public health authorities around the world.

If anyone cares, here are my thoughts/speculations/questions about the #CoronaVirus 2019-nCoV.

It’s a bioweapon that the Chinese lost control of. It was developed in Wuhan, and there was an obvious accident. The accident probably happened in early to mid December.

1/20
Three reasons make me think that this is a bioweapon: 1. The fact that it is asymptomatic for 7 to 14 days, yet can be transmitted during that time. 2. The fact that it is so easily transmittable. 3. The fact that it has such a high mortality rate (> 5%).

2/20
No naturally occurring virus scores this trifecta, not even Ebola or the 1918 Flu.

As to the mortality rate, at this time it seems to be a mere 5%. What the actual mortality rate is cannot be determined because of Chinese government censorship.
