Worried you or a loved one might end up in a nursing home? Read my book! https://t.co/xUEYDGbyL9 #caregivers #aging

@hiattb Whoa

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

Promising #COVID19 trends:

🔹Cases are down 14.2%
🔹Test positivity down 1% (to 5.3%- we are almost in the green zone!)
🔹Hospitalizations down 11.3%
🔹Deaths down 8.3%

Still several regional fires to put out, but keep at it 🇺🇸! Driving ⬇️ cases/ positivity = safer reopening!

I’m now immune to spreading or getting #COVID19 since I recovered. I still wear a mask. It calms the anxiety of my patients and neighbors. #MentalHealth is important, especially now

Everything we do has benefits and risks

Lockdown measures for the pandemic could result in an additional 6.3 million cases of T.B. and 1.4 million deaths. https://t.co/oTiyZdq7fU

I have observed this both in my practice and personally #COVID19 #eldercare #geriatrics https://t.co/0KeqNEUwB5

Bottom line: multi-ply surgical masks: good. Cloth masks: meh. Bandanas and neck fleece: worthless. Via @WRAL https://t.co/RIG8QrKvw8

If laughing can spread #covid19 then seeing @BrianReganComic perform tonight is how I would choose to get it

[David Fisher, MD @DoctorFisher]

Have waited years to see my fave @BrianReganComic perform live. Tonight’s the night at @GoodnightsCC!!

@KateHydeNY I think it’s actually @JoeBiden

[David Fisher, MD @DoctorFisher]

This means the death RATE is plummeting. This is good news. Our population is becoming naturally inoculated. Keep washing your hands, wearing masks, and protecting the vulnerable.

The prevalence of coronavirus infections is more than 10 times higher than the counted number of cases in six regions of the United States, according to C.D.C. data https://t.co/JxDvWq4Q5V

@DeathPR Saw your other tweets and I’m saddened you are dealing with this personally. Did not intend to sound callous to the real pain. My prayers are with your family.

[David Fisher, MD @DoctorFisher]

@DeathPR My medical license is here on my wall, but attempting to burn it might be harmful to your health and I don’t recommend trying.

[David Fisher, MD @DoctorFisher]

@DeathPR The comment was on the media’s framing of the data, with little consideration given to basic public health principles. I care for the vulnerable every day in nursing homes, and I never dehumanize people by referring to them as cows.

Impact of visitor restrictions on residents of senior living facilities https://t.co/MDQj0A9raT #COVID19 #aging

[David Fisher, MD @DoctorFisher]

1. #COVID19 is easily spread via respiratory droplets 2. #COVID19 can be spread by people with few or no symptoms 3. Seems like face coverings are a good idea nationwide #masksforall

Listen to Larry #stayhomesavelives

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

“You’re hurting old people like me. Well, not me... I’ll never see you.”

Larry David wants everyone to stay home to protect older Californians from #COVID19!
He does not do these things.
Listen to Larry.
