Wearing a mask helps reduce the spread of COVID-19 when used in conjunction with other preventative measures, including physical distancing, frequent hand washing and cleaning high traffic surfaces. #WearAMask
Protect yourself and the ones you love. Please wear a mask.

Excited to share that Dr. Robert Golden, Dean of @uwsmph and I crafted an op-ed in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the @AAMCtoday road map to reset the nation's approach to the COVID-19 pandemic. This important message should be shared far and wide! jsonline.com/story/news/solu…

This is not a new idea, but it bears repeating. "All lives matter" is a worthless phrase until black lives are also included in the "all". #BlackLivesMatter

“The new study does not ask why, but earlier research, including an analysis published last year by the NIH, has found that black applicants are more likely to propose studying health disparities, which are less likely to be funded by the agency.” chronicle.com/article/Black-…

MYTH: Warm weather and heat can kill COVID-19. With all the information available about #coronavirus (COVID-19), it's important to separate fact from fiction. For trusted information and resources, visit the MCW Coronavirus Resource Center at: covid19.mcw.edu #MCWCOVID19

After more than 70 years of marriage, Wilford and Mary Kepler passed away within six hours of each other. Both had tested positive for COVID-19. Our staff at Froedtert Hospital pushed their beds together so they could hold hands during their final hours. people.com/human-interest/hu…

Keeping our communities informed on the spread of COVID-19: Currently #Wisconsin is experiencing a 9% increase in daily COVID-19 cases. At this rate, COVID-19 cases are expected to double in WI every 7.7 days. For more information, visit covid19.mcw.edu #MCWCOVID19
Your questions, our experts. Lisa Dodson, MD, Dean of MCW-Central Wisconsin, discusses how the novel #coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic can make us stronger as a community. For more information, visit covid19.mcw.edu #MCWCOVID19
Other than flattening the curve, the two most important things our leaders can do to get us through the COVID-19 health care and financial crises: 1) Get PPE to the front lines, and 2) accelerate broad COVID-19 testing

Weeks after testing positive for COVID-19, Dr. David Lal, one of our pediatric surgeons, was back helping patients in a way only he can. Dr. Lal was the first COVID-19 survivor to donate his plasma at @BloodCenterWI as part of an experimental treatment. Thank you, Dr. Lal!

Most molecular biologists could run #COVID19 tests no problem - it's just RNA extraction & qPCR. But pivoting a research lab into a testing center would be illegal. Some states are now relaxing restrictions to let eager researchers help out. bit.ly/3dOFjlW

Stop the spread of COVID-19. New CDC guidance: Wear cloth face covering in pharmacy, grocery, elevator, apartment common spaces, and anywhere you might not be able to protect 6-ft physical distance from others. Do your part!
