#DearIntern It's always a privilege to take care of patients.

@marziehg @jon_y_huang Yes! Makes the think of this classic.

Nancy Krieger's

Epidemiology and the web of causation: has anyone seen the spider?

What do you call someone who watched a webinar and is now THE EXPERT ON COVID?

[Josep Goded @josepgoded]

The cleaning staff at our hospitals are hardly ever mentioned and they also deserve a tribute!

Giving covid care a human touch. Our team printed this out for the patients who just see their care being delivered by masks instead of people. Idea by @paulk_mi @UTSWIMchief @DinoKazi #parklandstrong

[Joe Hyder @JosephHyder]

This sounds like a nice way share comfort. It’s what we do for men and women deployed in the #USmilitary.

Would some thing like this pass hospital infection prevention and control review?

[Joe Hyder @JosephHyder]

@MSharifpourMD This is great. How do patients like to use them most? How do you sterile them between patients?

[Joe Hyder @JosephHyder]

Think social distancing at home is bad?

We have lots of patients in hospitals around the country feeling very lonely - no visitors, no human faces, few hands to hold.

What is one way to safely make this a more human experience for our inpatients?

[Joe Hyder @JosephHyder]

@AlexAndersonMD This is a really great idea and would help to communicate how much we care behind all the #PPE.

@MeganTStevenson @causalinf Not yet mentioned follow for #COVID19?

@PSampathkumarMD

is an expert on hospital epi and infection control.

@AmyPearsonMD @Awareness_Live For ARDS, P:F ratio is nice and all but can be misleading. Patient vent-free days, survival, and functional status are why patients come to us. It’s worth holding judgement until a larger study is done. Other takes? @WarnerMatthewA

@rsatyak @DrMStiegler @SBHartlageMD @AmyPearsonMD @LaurenJonesMD @DrMikeAziz @dremilym @EMARIANOMD @emilysharpe @tbenjaco @laxswamy @KellyCawcuttMD @Ron_George @SCCM Put another way:

If you don’t know what “pendelluft” means, you probably shouldn’t be splitting ventilators.

[Joe Hyder @JosephHyder]

@rsatyak @DrMStiegler @SBHartlageMD @AmyPearsonMD @LaurenJonesMD @DrMikeAziz @dremilym @EMARIANOMD @emilysharpe @tbenjaco @laxswamy @KellyCawcuttMD @Ron_George Doubling up ventilators?

Desperate times may call for desperate measures, however, @sccm has just come out against this practice, pointing to potential to cause more harm (to many patients at once) than good.

[Joe Hyder @JosephHyder]

@stefoons @randydemartino @AlexAndersonMD @AmyPearsonMD @ehlJAMA I won’t comment on my own institution, however, some US health care organizations permit prescribing clinicians to enter their own record.

I don’t know if those orgs have policies about folks writing notes (such as advance directives) about themselves.

If U didn’t listen yesterday to @PSampathkumarMD from @MayoClinic telling everyone how we got here W the PPEs debacle, here is another link where she appeared on #OutspokenOncology explaining proper use, misuse, & what @CDCgov should have done. #WeNeedPPEs

Let’s not panic and let’s not close the liquor stores. Our ERs, hospitals, and ICUs would be swamped treating folks with alcohol withdrawal, unnecessarily stressing a system that needs to be ready for COVID19 patients. @CabreraERDR @GovTimWalz

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

Minnesotans storm liquor stores, worried that they won't be considered "essential services" after a shelter-in-place declaration. https://t.co/j6jNrJ8gpz

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

I keep thinking of this Milton Friedman quote:
'Only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. (...) the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable.'

@JosephHyder I am going to be reviewer 1 and say:
#1. The manuscript could likely be shortened.
#2. Change ‘one of the biggest game changers’ to ‘HUGE game changers.’
