Two California deaths now thought to be the earliest Covid19 fatalities in MID Feb! In patients with no travel history! Which means there was community transmission in multiple states as early January.

Our nation confronts a new problem:
1. WH punts #COVID19 mitigation/containment to States.
2. Governors kick can down the road to the cities.
3. Mayors forced to shape comprehensive plans for diagnostic testing, contact tracing, syndromic surveillance.
America has no plan..

We mourn the loss of the Sailor from USS Theodore Roosevelt who died today, and we stand alongside their family, loved ones, and shipmates as they grieve. This is a great loss for the ship and for our Navy.
The California #COVID19 story is an unexplained, very positive one, w/ early physical distancing early offered as the 1° driver. The apex for hospitalizations hit today, for death expected Wednesday. Way below the @IHME_UW model predictions

Putting up a new banner for the release of my audio book. One chapter explains how U.S. Healthcare got dependent on China--We should NEVER again be shopping in China for medical supplies in a crisis! Took 20 hrs to record this thing! Hope you like it :) https://t.co/9q3ZBmnoaQ

Early physical distancing, maintain supply chains & distribution of PPE and meds to health care workers and areas that need then, equity in access to meds, vaccines & care, increasing healthcare capacity.
Thanks for chatting @TheRock. These are trying times. Wage loss, school closures, nothing about this is easy — but we can choose to see the little moments of inspiration and determination to help guide us. Thanks for your leadership — and spreading the word to #StayHomeSaveLives.
