I talked to Senator @amyklobuchar & she said it would be ok to record our call & post it on #inthebubble. A “mini-episode.”

We talk about her family’s experience with COVID-19 & what Congress needs to do.

I like being able to get inside people’s own bubble information directly to you.

IF YOU ARE NOT NY: NY needs you now. And you may need them later. It’s time to help our biggest city. 1/
After 9/11 firefighters & first responders bravely headed to NY at great risk & at a time of real uncertainty. 2/ Image
Today our doctors, nurses, techs, resp therapists, cleaning crews & social workers in NY have already done beyond the hours, risks & trauma of a frontline war they didn’t sign up for.

They can’t do it forever.3/

COVID Upate April 4: Spent the day talking to hospitals at ground 0. Learned about new problems that will emerge everywhere.

And on a program for vulnerable populations rolling out in NY that can be done everywhere.

Amazing stuff. In about an hour. Follow if interested. 1/
3 of the next major hot spots in are NYC, New Orleans & Detroit. I decided to talk to all 3 today— hospitals, Congresspeople, health commissioners. To figure out how to help and to send the early warning signals to everyone else.

It’s like talking to civilians fighting a war.2/
The NY Public hospitals have 3500 beds & are right in the middle of the war zone. I heard from the WH that they had the biggest challenge on vents & vents were sent there.

They in fact told me that vents r not their biggest problem. What he told me are not in the news as much.3/

No glory, no profit or even pay for some. Please recognize some of the folks jumped in with me:
-@projectn95 getting PPE & vents
-@whileathome bringing you resources
-@USofCare providing rapid response to states & policy roadmaps
-@MNcovidsitters which is now in 70+ locations
These people keep me going. There is more coming. As a preview:
-A turnkey playbook & text tools for caring for & protecting vulnerable populations
-New ways to support frontline caregivers
-Tools to provide vetted support to hospitals
-Analysis of what’s now avail from Comgress
A month ago, these people were all doing something different now all-day every-day they are doing the behind-the-scenes jobs that will help dig us out.

OK! @ErinMcCreary and I have been giving weekly #COVIDー19 updates to the entirety of @UPMCnews. Until I figure out whether or not I can post the recording, here is a synopsis (thread follows). @IDPittStop @IDPittStop
Fever (defined as > 38C or > 100.4 F) in #COVIDー19 only happens in about HALF of cases. Do not rely on fever to rule #coronavirus in or out. The “more than 90 percent” data come from the papers from China, which defined fever as > 37.3—it’s in the methods!
Most (80% or so) have non-severe disease. Older patients are more likely to have severe disease. There's all this chatter about "comorbidities" (high blood pressure etc) being associated with severe disease, but tbh I wonder if this is just a signal of advanced age.

Wondering what's going on with your doctors' offices and clinics?

How are you supposed to see the doctor or other care provider if you're also supposed to #StayAtHome?

What even is #telehealth?

Let's talk a bit about what's going on in outpatient medicine during #COVID19.
/1
You've heard a little (though probably not the worst parts) about what our frontline #healthcareworkers are experiencing. It’s harrowing at best, and in reality, it's a complete crumbling of our healthcare system to take optimal care of its patients and its workforce.
/2
What you may not be hearing as much about in the media, but will affect every one of you, is what’s happening with clinics and outpatient care.

Because almost everything has changed.

1/21 After caring for patients in the ICU with #COVID for the last week, the time seems right for a #pulmonology #tweetorial on #Proning or #PronePositioning

@sanjayvdesai @OslerResidency @JHUPCCMFellows @CPSolvers @thecurbsiders @cardionerds @tony_breu @david_furfaro @chadhoc
2/ Let’s begin with a question: how does prone positioning improve oxygenation in patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?
3/ First, some history. Prone positioning was first proposed in the 1970’s as a method to improve gas exchange in resp. failure and has long been shown to improve Pa/FiO2 in mechanically ventilated patients with severe ARDS.

Let's be clear on this:

The people who voted for something that left us with fewer doctors/nurses than we would have had, just before a deadly pandemic where we're going to be short on doctors/nurses, don't get to complain that those who warned against it, are pointing that out.

Saying now's not the time to talk about Brexit weakening the NHS during #covidー19uk is like saying you can't talk about gun laws after mass-shootings.

The effects of Brexit will be negotiated THIS YEAR. Not talking about the CLEAR EVIDENCE of what's at stake would be STUPID!

cw: coronavirus, pandemic, death.

Coronavirus real talk time. Within 3 weeks, we will be seeing videos of overwhelmed hospitals in the US, with hundreds of deaths.

Here’s the director of one of the country’s busiest hospitals sounding the alarm. Thread 👇🏼
Y’all remember that I was active in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017.

EVERYTHING the Trump administration did to your fellow citizens in Puerto Rico, he’s doing again with coronavirus — to all of us.

The lying. Lack of preparedness. Blaming the victims. The corruption. Donald Trump tweet from 13 September 2018: “3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...”
Hong Kong and Vietnam have done an incredible job at limiting the progress of #COVID19. Remarkable, given their proximity to, and travel with China.

They rapidly deployed the WHO’s recommended testing kit for widespread testing, with self-quarantine.

The US? We really messed up Screenshot of a news headline: “[Op-ed] Why Vietnam has been the world’s number 1 country in dealing with coronavirus<br /> <br /> While other countries have dithered, Vietnam’s response to Covid-19 has been swift, sharp and effective”

Ok kids. It’s time for #drunjlaw with Judge. On today’s episode, we talk about corroboration.

Why this? Because the number one red hat line this week is that Michael Cohen is making up lies and POTUS wants to make flipping illegal. Here is how. That shit works 1/
Starting from the basics. Let’s say the feds catch a conspiracy and they do “flip” a co-conspirator. They want the co-conspirator to testify against the defendant. But first they have to get past two pesky hurdles: hearsay and corroboration. 2/
I’ll dispose of hearsay in a hurry. In criminal cases anything the defendant has ever said is generally admissible against him at trial. When trying conspiracy, same goes for statements made by the co-conspirator in furtherance of the conspiracy. Hi, Rick Gates. 3/
