🧵This thread is about the lack of emotional and financial support for frontline healthcare workers and how to help us by passing:
1. Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act
2. Holding Providers Harmless from Medicare Cuts During COVID-19 Act of 2020 1/15 Image
It's difficult to capture the emotional distress healthcare workers are enduring, but perhaps my Facebook journal entry "Casualty of War" about the Iraq War, suicide and the loss of my mentor Dr. Lorna Breen can help 2/15 facebook.com/cleavon.gilman… Image
Everyday healthcare workers are tasked with doing more with ZERO help from the government. In hospitals, HCWs lack PPE, ⬆️ nursing-patient ratios, endless deaths and inability to strike. Even worse, if healthcare workers speak out, some hospitals threaten to fire them. 3/15

I'm an Iraq War vet & ER doc in Arizona. This is my 3rd surge. Gov @dougducey had a conference in which ZERO policies were implemented to STOP THE SURGE of COVID patients flooding ERs across Arizona, KILLING Arizonans. We need a SHELTER-IN-PLACE instead of trying to SAVE FACE!
17 y.o. Brisa Vasquez from Chandler, Arizona lost BOTH of her parents this week to COVID-19. I want Gov @dougducey to tell this high school student that her parents are DEAD because he wouldn't implement a mask mandate and shelter-in-place! azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
Out here in Yuma, Arizona. 3 more dead. 125 hospitalized for COVID. 22 in the ICU. We're not going to have any more updates until Monday at 3pm, because of the weekend. These numbers will continue to worsen because of Do Nothing @dougducey.

.@dougducey this is a slap in the face to all frontline healthcare workers! Yuma Arizona where the hospital has 126 patients with COVID19, ICU full and 5 deaths yesterday.
This is an event called Howling at the moon. It happens each month. This is a video from the Halloween weekend event.
This reckless behavior endangers our vulnerable populations!

For example, Emerald Springs Senior Living in Yuma, Arizona has had 25 residents and 17 employees test positive for COVID19.

How many COVID19 cases & deaths occurred in assisted-living facilities in Arizona? @dougducey does not want you to know because it will hurt HURT BUSINESS!

Unlike nursing homes, assisted-living facilities are not required to report COVID cases to @CMSGov
azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
This secrecy during a pandemic is problematic because the community and families are the last to know when an outbreak is occurring.
Moreover, we can get resources to these assisted-living facilities sooner rather than having them send their COVID19 patients to emergency rooms and overwhelm hospitals.

Bars are shut down in Staten Island to stop rising hospitalizations due to COVID. This is Mac's Public House. He doesn't get that people are dying.
There's 1000s of people in the hospital. I hope they lock his ass up tomorrow when he shows up inciting violence.
We're already losing the battle against COVID19. 275,000 dead + 75,000 excess deaths. What battle is he talking about?

.@dougducey is UNFIT to lead Arizona through this pandemic. He's failed to protect healthcare workers. He's failed to protect 6,687 Arizonans. He wants to live while we DIE from the virus. It's time to #RecallDougDucey accountablearizona.org
A deadly pandemic is not the time to bullshit and play politics, but that's exactly what @dougducey is doing. While doctors are intubating 100 Arizonans a day from COVID to die on a ventilator, he's sitting on his ass and letting more people get infected.
The second surge is worse than the first surge, because due to lack of restrictions we're seeing a high volume of high acuity non-covid patients, which require ICU beds, in addition to sick COVID patients.
