Please take a moment to watch this important message created by our colleagues on the frontlines. #COVID19

[Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health @CMOH_Alberta]

We will get through this together. Even if we are far apart.

[Raj Bhardwaj @RajBhardwajMD]

Stay home.
Keep your distance.
Wash your hands.
Everyone who does this saves lives

[Dr. Sanjay Gupta @drsanjaygupta]

Please don’t get complacent this weekend. I know it will be hard, as this is really starting to settle in for many. Stay home. Slow down. Tidy up. Call an old friend, as they are hopefully home as well. Please behave as if you have the virus. So, be kind.

[Anke Banks @ankebanks]

Sorry kids. This may be coming your way too.

[ERDocMom @erdocmom]

If current trends continue, within 2 weeks we will have 12,000 cases of #COVID19 in Canada and 3700 cases in Alberta. With 10% needing ICU care, that is well above the 300 ICU beds we currently have in the province.

This is not a joke. Stay home. The window to contain is closing

[Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health @CMOH_Alberta]

The most effective way for Albertans to #FlattenTheCurve is by taking a comprehensive, society-wide approach.

Not testing alone. Not contact tracing alone. Not social distancing alone. All of them, together.

@AHS_media Hey @AHS_media - how about adding the COVID 19 assessment tool the the AHS app?

[Anke Banks @ankebanks]

Also useful for pediatric nephrologists...

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

It's possible in the coming days that specialists may be called upon to help out our critical care colleagues, so I thought I'd share a few tips for my fellow ophthalmologists on how to manage a ventilator. Hope this helps...

Hoping that “because COVID” is the final winning argument that convinces my kids to use soap when they wash their hands (but not counting on it). ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻#WashYourHands #FlattenTheCurve

Wow.

Question for nephrologists that add “avoid unnecessary nephrotoxins” to their AKI notes, do you also tell consultant not to jam that pen in their eye and not to mix bleach and ammonia cleaner?

[Anke Banks @ankebanks]

Wow! This is a great video! https://t.co/eMlrbAgk82
