Rick: Trump says if we don't test for COVID-19, we won't have any cases.
Dr. Kelly Sennholz: You know what? I have a brilliant idea. If we never did any EKGs, we'd never have any heart attacks.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: It's shocking we have someone like that for President.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: The CDC is the group that came out with the stmt that people didn't need to wear masks--and that was to save masks for the medical folks. We have whole depts of our gov't that just went along with something so laughable. That's very concerning.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: I watched the testimony; I was so deeply touched by someone who was just a regular guy, a scientist, who became more & more distraught at what was happening, & he testified to his truth. Inspiring.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: I think the most important thing this scientist said was what it felt like to warn about a lack of PPE in Jan, & no one listened. No one listened when he warned about hydroxychloroquine.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: This scientist also warned the administration about what will need to happen when there IS a vaccine; no one is listening. It could delay the vaccine another 6 mos--how many people will die in that time?

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: I read that 1 in 4 Republicans say they wish they had someone else to run [for President]. That's the most hopeful news I've heard.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We had a lot of really powerful testimony this week. Dr. Fauci said we're in danger of having the virus get out of control.
@MtnMD

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We could get into a situation where the virus spreads so rapidly that it not only takes down our medical system but that the virus becomes uncontrollable--even staying at home wouldn't work. This is our last chance to get it together.
@MtnMD

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: New estimates show possibly 135,000 COVID-19 deaths by the end of August, far exceeding the 60,000 deaths Trump said we'd have. [We are already at 85,000.]
@MtnMD #CoronavirusPandemic #CoronaVirusUpdate

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: The average number of people who die per day of heart disease is 1770. The number of people who've died in the last 24 hours from COVID-19 is about the same, but that doesn't incl the people who've died at home, untested. Those numbers are really high
@MtnMD

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We may already be at over 3000 deaths/day but they aren't being tested...because Trump says if we don't test, they don't have the virus.
@MtnMD #CoronavirusPandemic #CoronaVirusUpdate

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: We're topping or at the same numbers as the number one killer in the United States (heart disease).
@MtnMD #CoronavirusPandemic #CoronaVirusUpdate

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: H1N1 was serious, no doubt about it, but Obama dealt with it well. We had a normal gov't at that point, with a functional CDC & people who were allowed to do their jobs w/o being fired for doing their jobs. Now we're so far from normal.
