After a long ER shift where nearly half my patients had alarming #COVID19 signs and symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, vomiting, high fevers, hypoxia) this is how it feels to see the president triumphantly declare the virus to be no big deal:
Stop saying “The COVID death rate is <1%” to justify not caring about others. 1. It’s not “You’re either asymptomatic or you die.” There‘s a huge range for those infected, from “home sick for 2 weeks” to “3 months later, still symptomatic” to “spent weeks in a hospital.”
@hanzbananzz I wouldn’t! They can seem like they’re over it based on different developmental stages but stick with consistent boundaries! Love what moms on call says about it.
I desperately hope we get a vaccine. I desperately hope we get better therapeutics. But all you have to do is look around at other parts of the world and realize that there are tools for controlling this virus. It just requires not acting like a tool. Wear a mask!
I cannot think of a meaner disease than one that demands its victims die alone. It puts us in crisis then forbids us to congregate.
But it cannot keep us from praying. It cannot keep God from acting.
It cannot keep brave men and women from fighting for the lives of the sick.
I’m going to give away $30,000 to 1 random person who retweets this tweet AND follows Twitter Philanthropist @Pulte and Me!! (If you don’t follow us, we can’t DM you the money) Will show proof! Much love
