BREAKING: First U.S. ER physician dies from COVID-19.
Dr. @meganranney, who knew him, reacts: "He was a leader within the emergency room field. ... Unless our government steps up & gets us the protective equipment we need, he will be the first of many of my colleagues."
If you are out of N95 masks, here's how to improve the seal of your surgical mask. A DIY #SurgicalMaskBrace, when coupled with an ASTM Level 1 or above surgical mask, can improve the main source of leakage that puts the wearer at risk. #fixthemask#GetMePPE

Masks are life saving medical supplies but many health care facilities do not have enough to go around. Please visit the links above for resources on how to help. #COVID19 image from… https://t.co/M5CbJaiY1I
@NYGovCuomo If this helps, one of these distributors just supplied 4 large NYC hospital systems with PPE. Suppliers here are mostly vetted through a cornell listserv: https://t.co/04bUjSE7my
