With fewer healthcare workers tested, there is the risk of asymptomatic workers becoming super-spreaders to sick patients. So the U.S. curves may still spike once we test more.
For U.S. healthcare workers, have you been tested for #COVID19?
8%Yes, negative
1%Yes, positive
16%Not tested, minor symptom
75%Not tested, no symptoms

This is my promise! My mom and dad, and uncle, and godmother were nurses, doctors, pharmacist! When I reopen my restaurants, I hope I will, every active Doctor and Nurse will eat for free for the rest of the year! Thankful #HeroesOfCovid19 @thinkfoodgroup

Due to current events, we will be postponing the March 31st PRS Grand Rounds live lecture with @jjanismd. Stay tuned for the announcement of the new date, coming soon.
Thank you all for your patience during this time, and we hope everyone is staying safe and well!

So much great information at #BC32020, it’s hard to choose! Would say 1) Get PM&R MDs like @EricWisotzkyMD involved early/often 2) surgical options for lymphedema continue to improve (though prevention is of course best) 3) interest in breast sensation is wonderfully widespread

We are nearing the end of @BC3C Twitter Chat. Please continue the discussion so that we may engage those members in different time zones. #BC3LISTENS
Hope to see you in DC!! @BC3C #bc3listens
Exactly, and seeking providers and teams that are sensitive to not just breast cancer but the person behind the diagnosis is critical #bc3listens @BC3C
I was told this many times! #BreastCancer is often NOT a medical emergency but patients often feel it is and becomes more of an emotional emergency. In coordinated care, we can help smooth out this emotional emergency. #BC3Listens
Nor any indicator of the expertise that you and other advocates have #bc3listens
Could not agree more @DrSummerHanson Remember.... there is no "Dr." or "MD" in Google! #BC3Listens

A5 - It is so important to know that a 2nd opinion is OK in any #BreastCancer care. Here @drdavidsong and @drchrysopoulo talk about the value of a 2nd opinion: youtube.com/watch?v=IG0rp5-G… #BC3Listens
