What justifies risking the health of your entire community like this?

Here‘s our full story on the return of some 1,600 missionaries to Salt Lake City tonight. Hopefully it can answer some questions. @KUTV2News @jakemerson1

[Elise Mecham, MD @EliseMecham]

@blurboy ... if it stops you from going to the airport in large groups to pick up missionaries, then enjoy burning in hell.

[Marjorie Stiegler MD @DrMStiegler]

What's so hard here?

YES, people really ARE contagious without symptoms

Massive testing shortage

Massive #PPEshortage

But we're asking docs/nurses to work unprotected anyway, for things that can WAIT.

This endangers them AND EVERYONE ELSE.

As John Wesley said, ‘Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.’🙏🏽

[Harriet Hopf @HarrietHopfMD]

This is terrifying. Healthcare professionals must be able to protect themselves to be able to continue to take care of all patients. We need fast government action to resolve the #PPEShortage. #COVIDー19

American CDC loosened the guidelines and now if you were exposed to a known covid19 patient you dont need to quarantine yourself for 14 days, you can keep working if you use a mask. And if you dont have a mask, you can use a scarf or a bandana😳🤯

WUT?!?! Is this real?!

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

I am an oncologist.

I tell people they have cancer.

I tell some people they are dying of cancer.

I am used to seeing fear in people’s eyes.

I have never seen this much terror, so many grappling with their own mortality.

Hope the party in Daytona Beach was worth it.

@WHNSC @WhiteHouse @CDCgov How about #PPEforhealthcareproviders rather than bandanas @CDCgov and @WhiteHouse? That’s an update I would like to see.

[Elise Mecham, MD @EliseMecham]

I thought this was a joke, but it’s straight from the CDC. #PPEforhealthcare

@HarrietHopfMD They would be lucky to have you with whatever lenses you show up with, natural or artificial. I will bring loupes!

[Elise Mecham, MD @EliseMecham]

@hsienlei @HarrietHopfMD Super smart super woman in the making! Love those glasses.

[Elise Mecham, MD @EliseMecham]

@HarrietHopfMD Perfect transition! Do sunglasses count as well?

[Elise Mecham, MD @EliseMecham]

@HarrietHopfMD I suppose you will have to settle for being a leader and innovator in medicine, then!
