@TheSGEM @SAEMonline @ACEPNow @CAEP_Docs ...and so it begins :(

@LWestafer @rob_cosentini @drmarcogarrone you have the right answer for Lauren.

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@pgyfun @davidcarr333 Naaaa, it's just a phase.
We will be treated badly as soon as this nightmare ends.

And of course we will be sued for everything.

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@drchethansathya @ketaminh Well it looks like that every doctor in the world is facing the same problem. So sad.
We're facing a catastrophe: almost 60 doctors died because of that in Italy...

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@ketaminh Minh is it somehow influenced by a hot season?

Great tip for intubation as we are running low on PPE...take a patient personal belongings bag and cut one side of it to create a drape over patients face to minimize aerosolization...credit to @AirwayMxAcademy for image #COVID19FOAM

I want everyone of you to see what you're going to face if you are not going to prepare yourself and get ready to shut everything down and to start social distancing.
Watch the nightmare our friends and colleagues like @rob_cosentini are facing. #Covid_19

@cathimon @ACTINOSProject @ketaminh @drhumki @coopesdetat I was hoping in a "30-60 min test" 😞

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@ACTINOSProject @ketaminh @drhumki @cathimon @coopesdetat Is it a rapid test?

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@BrennanSpiegel @ketaminh @AmCollegeGastro Last night I've seen a pt with a hx of vomiting for 2 weeks wirh mild diarrhoea. Yesterday she had fever: she was positive. No sob, blood tests were fine.

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@TheSGEM In Italy 8% of the infected are health workers and there were some casualties as well. As Emergency physicians we're the frontline, often without adeguate protection, facing an unknown enemy.
And yes, I'm afraid...

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@TheSGEM @SAEMEBM @Rick_Pescatore @AliRaja_MD @meganranney @ketaminh @movinmeat @MDaware @RyanMarino @darakass @andrewjtagg You made me laugh. And that is not easy in these days...

I think we will not forget this image anytime soon: a long column of army lorries carrying away coffins of deceased people due to Covid19 in Bergamo, because crematories are full.

@19criticalcare @Pika_Chew_ @lucey_mark @MichelleNgGong If you are at the centre of the epidemic, your resources will dry out as snow under the sun.

EG: Brescia's Hospital opened a ward in the laundry and in the garage. Think always about a plan b and even a plan c in case everything goes to shite.

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@ThePointyStick @MichelleNgGong The main problem is the compliance, but it could be a good choice to gain extra time...

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@lucey_mark @Pika_Chew_ @MichelleNgGong @19criticalcare Aye, early intubation is the recommended management. If you have infinite ICU beds and intensivists. But what can you do if you are slashed with 10 critical pneumonias per day? You try everything you have.

[Matteo Borselli @DocAnalog]

@srrezaie Well, that is our principal problem.
We have not enough protective enviroments. And 12% of infected are health care workers. That is dreadful.
