.@realdonaldtrump just said: "if it were up to the doctors, they'd shut down the entire world." Actually, if it were up to us, we'd save as many people as possible. We would follow the science & evidence. We would never put politics ahead of the public's health #covid19

Some personal news: I have a fever and a dry cough. I'm assuming that it's coronavirus.
I'll continue sheltering at home and will be resting as much as possible. My family are thankfully well and we're all in good spirits.
And needless to say I won't be seeking a test. ;-)

Today broke my heart.
Today I picked up scrubs and repurchased the clogs that got me through residency and fellowship. No more clothes or shoes that go home.
Today I had colleagues get tested for CoVid.
Today I talked about advanced directives with every ICU doctor I know.

A thing happened tonight. In light of physicians falling ill, and without devices available to protect the beard, I decided to make a temporary change. Spread knowledge, not Coronavirus. – at Corpus Christi, TX

The lockdown imposed on Italians to halt spread of #coronavirus might be extended if incidence of new #COVID19 cases doesn’t slow.
Since March 12, the number of new cases has more than doubled in Italy to 31,506 & number of deaths has tripled to >2,503.

The study provides 2 scenarios that can “plausibly explain” the origin of #SARSCoV2 (new #coronavirus):
1️⃣natural selection in an animal host before zoonotic transfer (transfer from animal to human)
2️⃣natural selection in humans after zoonotic transfer

🚨BREAKING: Scientists analyzed genomic data to determine the origin of the deadly new #coronavirus:
“Our analyses clearly show that #SARSCoV2 is NOT a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

If you've got holidays, take em.
If you can, keep kids at home.
If you know a health worker, look after their kids.
If you know a casual worker, share your income.
If you have a neighbor, check on them.
If you see a curve, flatten it.

BREAKING: Coronvirus Outbreak. One week after Italy's national lockdown (8 days after the north), Italy has three days with same number of new cases. This means 5 days after lockdown cases leveled off, consistent with typical incubation period of 3-5 days. This is good news.
