#HospitalsAreHotspots

We need massive testing so we can identify the unseen enemy, adequate PPE and changes to our organizational practices to contain spread in hospitals.

Healthcare workers can not be the tinder fueling this pandemic.

[M Health Fairview @MHealthFairview]

Our crew at M Health Fairview Northland Medical Center discovered these beautiful words of hope and encouragement chalked on the sidewalks by a local family. Chief Nursing Officer Karen Whiley said: “All the staff are just smiling and just so happy to see it.”

#COVID19 case fatality rate in #Louisiana #NOLA is 4%, highest in #USA, several times higher than most other places. Reasons require study, but I believe due to 1) overwhelmed health systems + 2) extreme #GulfCoast poverty linked to diabetes, HTN, NCDs https://t.co/NxFeK1VzyV

1353 mildly symptomatic HCW were tested for COVID in the Netherlands. 6.4% were positive.

Hospitals are hot spots. Health care workers are dying and serving as tinder to fuel the epidemic. We must control this in hospitals first.

Hospitals are hot spots. We must focus on ⬇️ spread at hospitals.

A few simple things we could do to decrease transmission:
✅”Wash” gloves with alcohol-based hand sanitizer BEFORE you soft
✅ Open doors of not fire hazard
✅ Implement regular cleaning of common area items

The seemingly miles of beds being set up at Javits. It is absolutely unreal to see what the National Guard & first responders have put together here in just days.

“I have never seen a fireman run into blazing flames without fire-resistant gear on. This is what is currently being asked of our healthcare workers every single day now. Every. Single. Day.”

March 27 COVID Update: Coming after dinner.

A few gems today. Things I can happily reveal. Today is actually a lot about some of the best things we’re doing. The good news will lag what we see on TV. I was downbeat 2 weeks ago before most and am more upbeat today.1/

[Amy Cho, MD MBA @amychomd]

So very proud of the exceptional leadership, tireless work of every member of our teams, and compassion & bravery of the #COVIDFrontLones at @MHealthFairview and across Minnesota.
