@ScottAdamsSays Side effects to the host. If adverse reactions more severe the disease itself, is drug a success?

@bp22 read your book. It was enlightening and has allowed me to reframe a lot in my life. I’ve recommended it to several colleagues. Thanks!

@RitholtzWealth @awealthofcs I wonder if @morganhousel has changed his mind at all given what he wrote at the end of his book.

@aBarnes94 @Jason @pfizer @friedberg I agree. I think children should be in school and socializing with their peers vs 8 hours of isolation on zoom. If that means they have to wear a mask so be it.

[Ari Kestler @KestlerMD]

@aBarnes94 @Jason @pfizer @friedberg Yeah but then brings up a poor designed mask study that equates co2 concentrations in mask with co2 concentrations in lungs/blood. 🤯. What about just passing the sniff test. Does it make any sense that a loose fitting cloth mask would cause hypercarbia in children? No.

7) Severe travel/gathering restrictions
8) Broad PSAs for pts explaining what to do/NOT do
9) National Telemedicine for screening patients
10) Lock down SNFs; caregivers in PPE
11) State ACEP for incident command structure

[Graham Walker, MD @grahamwalker]

ER docs' recommendations:
1) Nationalize production of PPE, testing kits, ventilators (like in wartime)
2) Suspend EMTALA
3) Activate FEMA and DMAT teams
4) Pop-up Field Hospitals w ICU capability
5)Decentralized testing AWAY from hospital/ED
6)Drive through testing capability

@EconTalker Now (and always) is also a great time to discuss goals of care with the primary team so that they have a better understanding of your father’s wishes and his quality of life. How aggressive would he want them to be?

[Ari Kestler @KestlerMD]

@EconTalker Most hospitals have sepsis screens in place, which mean that in addition to a CXR he has likely also had labs, UA, influenza drawn. If everything is coming up negative and they can’t ID a source, an LP is potentially reasonable.

@elonmusk any chance of e-reader capability (ie Libby, Kindle) on the next software update?
