Early data suggests many who are infected are not symptomatic, which is why we are recommending you use cloth face coverings plus physical distancing for essential activities.

Do not use surgical and N95 masks, which are reserved for first responders and medical workers.

It’s not just docs and nurses on the frontlines. It’s first responders, techs, clerks, scribes, and our unsung environmental service professionals whose efforts to sanitize the ER likely saved more lives than me today.

Where it says 0.45 next to hand washing, that means the odds of getting infected if you wash your hands are 45% of that if you don’t wash your hands. The numbers in () are the give or take around that number.

[C. Michael Gibson MD @CMichaelGibson]

Meta-analysis of prevention in 6 case-control SARS studies (OR with (95%CI):

Handwashing >10X/day = 0.45 (0.36-0.57)

Wearing masks = 0.32 (0.25-0.40)

N95 masks = 0.09 (0.03-0.30)

Wearing gloves = 0.43
(0.29-0.65)

Wearing gowns = 0.23 (0.14-0.37) https://t.co/61gQKOn7DZ

The Empire State Building was lit up like an ambulance tonight in tribute to first responders and medical workers battling COVID-19.

The top of the iconic skyscraper was lit red, with revolving red and white lights circling the mast to resemble a siren. https://t.co/mTykFLCwlZ

Useful primer on the benefits of masks. A recommendation from CDC for consumers to wear cotton masks (with guidelines on how to fashion these products from household items) can improve safety and reduce spread and not strain the hospital supply chain. https://t.co/yAEi8hcLAH

It looks like a #Hollywood movie scene but it is a sign of how bad things are getting in #NewYork.
Emergency teams are erecting a field hospital in #CentralPark to accomodate #Covid_19 patients.

“If you haven’t been paying attention, maybe this is your wake-up call,” said Dr. Ngozi Ezike of the Illinois Department of Public Health on the first infant to die from coronavirus.

The Javits Center, NYC’s massive convention center, has been turned into an unbelievable emergency hospital.

It’s completely necessary, but still totally surreal.

Someone captured a great picture to show what THE VILLAGES Florida think of "social distancing". If people don't start following the CDC guidelines we are all doomed. #COVID19 #elderly #Florida #sumtercounty #theillages
