“Every time a doctor talks to me in a way that allows them to look me in the eye and not be a paper on a clipboard, they're reducing harm because all of the sudden I don't feel shame; I feel like I'm being treated as a human being worth loving.”

Although #COVID19 cases in many states declined over the last 7 days, daily cases are now increasing in some states, particularly in the upper Great Plains, Midwest, and South. Wear a mask. Stay 6 ft from others. Wash your hands. See more data: https://t.co/4Ku7nKLZCq

If you’ve ever visited the Texas medical center area in Houston, it is enormous - biggest in the world. Hard to imagine running out of beds there.
Just heard adults now being admitted to Texas Children’s Hospital due to overflow.

Texas, we are facing a rapidly worsening crisis

Peaceful but determined, our students are showing how important racism is to health. Time for positive, constructive, and collaborative action. @DellMedSchool #whitecoats4blacklives

58% of Americans say their doctor is the most trusted source of #COVID19 information, but only 31% are comfortable visiting their office-- causing delays in care and increased adaptation of #telehealth. https://t.co/VnoKAEh5jm

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) appears to be associated with #COVID19. CDC recommends healthcare providers report suspected cases to local, state, or territorial health departments. See Health Advisory issued: https://t.co/8CKfrp9sDt

"Our many internal medicine colleagues—& the clinical teams that support them—have been heroic in their response, often selflessly putting their own personal safety at risk while using their superb skills to provide care for others, they have inspired all of us." @RichardBaron17

Growing evidence suggests #COVID19 can spread before people show symptoms (pre-symptomatic) and from people who have #coronavirus but never show symptoms (asymptomatic).
Cloth face coverings help prevent spread of COVID-19 in these situations.

We have heard that many of they physicians we work with have questions around coding and billing. For targeted resources on this topic, check out the Coding and Billing section on our #COVID19 webpage. We have also included resources around Telemedicine.

One of the most important things our community can do is combat the myths and misinformation surrounding #COVID19. @SocietyHospMed

While physicians care for patients during this stressful time, the best way we can all slow the transmission of #COVID19 and reduce strain on the healthcare system is to practice social distancing as recommended by @CDCgov
