"I have seen illness and death on a scale that I have never seen in my career. I have admitted families. I've had to put spouses next to each other while one or both die. These are things that I have never had to do before." From a Ohio doctor I talked to this morning. (more)
This doc is at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, and had never done an interview before, but agreed to share his views for this week's @stateofohioshow about what he's seeing. He also said: "Every night, we deal with folks who don't believe they have COVID."
COVID-19 hospitalizations in Ohio have set records almost every day for a month, and are double what they were a month ago. It's being reported that @GovMikeDeWine may announce a 10pm-6am curfew for many businesses at today's press conference at 2pm.
One final thought from this doc, who says wear masks and listen to medical professionals: "I hear a lot of the recommendations coming up for the holidays. 'Don't gather with 10 or more, this, that, the other.' Don't gather with anybody. Just stay home. It's bad."
BTW - The doc was never anonymous. I didn’t identify him today to spare him the attacks I expected after @stateofohioshow airs. But that’s happening now. He and other medical professionals speaking out deserve the respect and compassion they give their patients. Please, people.
