@SperrysSteak Gotta be honest- I’m really concerned about the ‘social distancing’ I saw. Tables were not even close to 3-4 feet a part, much less six and serving every table. I truly believe your restaurant poses a threat to COVID19 containment in Davidson County.
Thinking about #GeorgeFloyd's tragic death tonight, I'm reminded of the haunting, timely words of @donberwick: "To try to avoid the political fray through silence is impossible, because silence is now political. Either engage, or assist the harm. There is no third choice."
What do strong leaders do when people are in pain?
1) Show up
2) Listen w/ compassion
3) Acknowledge the truth
4) Offer help
5) Unite people around shared values
6) Chart an honest, inclusive path forward
7) Lead with love, not fear
That's the moral leadership America needs now

@tarajohn I read your article ‘Iceland lab’s testing suggests 50% of cornoavirus cases have no symptoms’. I am having difficulty finding the source/ published paper by Dr. Kari Stefansson. Can you help me locate it and the additional studies on asymptomatic spread of COVID?
"I thanked him for being the most amazing husband and for making me feel cherished and loved."

The N95 respirator masks that health care workers need to protect themselves while treating coronavirus patients are in dangerously short supply. But now, Duke University researchers have developed a method to clean them so they can be safely re-worn. https://t.co/3hLrga8Q6o
Well it finally happened to me.
A dentist just tried to call in scripts for hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin for himself, his wife, & another couple (friends).
NOPE.
I have patients with lupus that have been on HCQ for YEARS and now can’t get it because it’s on backorder.
The Supreme religious leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran accused the US of spreading #coronavirus, furthering the ongoing hostility between the two countries.
