Last night I tweeted about hospital capacity issues out of concern expressed to me by someone involved. The hospital, facing a difficult situation many do, later spoke for themselves. I took down the tweet. But that’s not my only mistake. 1/
I apologized for the controversy. Now I’m apologizing for the tweet itself. It was a mistake.
But it would be a mistake to let my poor judgment obscure the concern. Hospitals are doing everything they can & a friend in the WH is working on it full time. 2/

We are also tracking what anticipated ventilator shortages are in each state. Working with FEMA we are launching a resource to locate vents & get as many as possible to where they need to be. 3/
Hold me to account for anything I tweet. But please don’t let up on staying home so as not to effect others as much as possible. As the data I shared yesterday show, it gives health care workers & hospitals the best chance. 4/
And I am sorry. 5/
