Incredibly proud of our Cath Lab Team. We turned our recovery area into a 12 bed ICU/CCU to treat Covid+ and a clean area for Covid- ACS patients. Every member of the team stepped up: attendings, fellows, nurses, techs, PAs, admin staff & cleaners. You rock and are all heroes!
2nd wave next WINTER according to CDC ? What about the wave that happens this SUMMER when we both prematurely relax social distancing + have no plan in place - no testing, no contact tracing, no syndromic surveillance - for US cities
It's seven weeks since we've been dealing with this virus in this country, and it's utterly outrageous that many health workers and care workers still do not have the protective equipment that they need.
Dr @SoniaAdesara on @itvlondon news.
PPE is vital to prevent repeated exposure.
The disgraceful shortage of PPE points directly to the incompetence of Government.
A lack of preparation, an inadequate response and a failure of prioritisation.
Lives will be lost.

A 99-year-old British war veteran has raised more than £2,000,000 ($2,514,300) for the country's National Health Service (NHS) as he aims to complete 100 laps of his garden, aided by a walking frame. https://t.co/V5Wu5VPRYJ
While hospitals say they have enough vents/PPE/etc. @nynurses said, “What the Covid-19 pandemic makes clear is that our inefficient, profit-driven health care system is ill-equipped to respond to public health crises, and it's costing countless lives."

Leilani Jordan, a grocery worker, died at age 27 from Covid-19. She said her store provided neither gloves, nor hand sanitizer.
She continued working because she wanted to help people. Her mother received Leilani's last paycheck: it was just $20.64.

Shame on those responsible for not supplying enough #ppe
Even worse is punishing a #nurse for purchasing her own gear for the safety of herself and her colleages
