ATTENTION:
@realDonaldTrump today said he wants to “terminate healthcare under Obamacare.” He’s said he will cut #Medicare and #Medicaid and has joined a lawsuit to repeal the #ACA. He’s a healthcare killer and he’s a direct threat to my patients.

IMPORTANT: While "contact tracing" is essential to curbing the spread of #COVID19, new polls show many Americans don't want to do it. Here’s what it actually is & why we as doctors think it's the best route to re-opening the country. Please share with anyone who needs this info.
First: What is #contacttracing? It simply means that when someone tests positive for a contagious illness, you try to determine who came into close contact with them & may also be at risk. Then you might test and/or quarantine those folks, to control the illness's spread. (2/13)
As a doctor, when I see patients with suspected #COVID19 in my ER, they get a test & results. But beyond that patient in front of me, I can't do much to control the spread to all the people they came into contact with. Contact tracing helps immeasurably with this. (3/13)

In a rush to open without evidence of containment or a plan to #TestTraceIsolate please be honest and say it’s because people are tired of lockdown. Do not pretend you’ve done a great job. Admit you’re willing to accept more deaths to attempt to get the economy going. 1/6
And don’t act surprised when April repeats itself in June, hospitals approach capacity, PPE becomes scarce, and the body count rises. 2/6
To pretend that this is a choice between restarting the economy and dealing with the public health crisis is ludicrous. If we reopen too soon, what was the point? 3/6

As an ER doctor, my biggest concern right now is that many view the current situation with #COVID19 as a death match between public health & the economy. This thinking is totally wrong & will lead to both more people dying AND the economy failing to rebound. Here's why... (1/13)
I've been a doctor for 17 years in a rural part of Michigan, a state that's been hit especially hard by the #coronavirus #pandemic. I see up close the battle between “health” and the “economy” that seems to be playing out across our states’ capitols and in Washington DC. (2/13)
The very real economic misery caused by our necessary response to the current public health crisis is leading to alarming policy developments. Some politicians and a very vocal minority of citizens are calling to “open the economy,” irrespective of the health consequences. (3/13)
