Was on @foxnews with @BillHemmer

Cases are rising in half of America.

Hospitalizations are rising in many places.

Can we avoid more shutdowns?

Absolutely -- but we have to get aggressive about social distancing, testing -- and yeah, wear the mask.

One of 4 parents are hesitant about the flu vaccine for kids because of concerns about its effectiveness, a Pediatrics study shows. Yet even in years where the match with the circulating strain isn’t as good, the vaccine decreases the severity of disease. https://t.co/Gbx0Pqh1v7

@eliowa I wear my lab goggles and rock the mask. I’m not waiting for approval from anyone.

Worth noting as cases are being seen in older teenagers and folks in their 20’s: “...doctors say they suspect some people are born with a genetic predisposition for an overactive immune response to Sars CoV-2 that triggers a Kawasaki-like syndrome.” #covid https://t.co/De1pEFPnEE

@curefinder @bethharrisap So glad you are better!

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

My suspicion is that the proponents of "natural" herd immunity--a prospect that will likely result in millions of deaths in the US if embraced as policy--are hoping to be among the smaller percentage of non-exposed people who will benefit from the immunity of the "herd".

Physician #burnout & #suicide were epidemics BEFORE this pandemic. How can we stem the tide to prevent the #COVID19 crisis from claiming more doctors' lives?

The COVID-19 crisis is a mental health crisis, and it deserves far more attention than it's gotten.

Don't underestimate the trauma this has created for people.

NYers can call 1-844-863-9314 for emotional support.

[Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham @GovMLG]

You: "Masks don't do anything"

Medical and scientific experts and professionals:

"If 80 percent of us adopt a simple homemade face mask, we could reduce #COVID19 deaths by 17-45 percent over two months."

Wearing masks saves lives. #MaskUp

[CDC @CDCgov]

Protect yourself from #COVID19 while getting gas. Use disinfecting wipes on handles & buttons of gas pump before you touch them. After you get gas & pay, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer with >60% alcohol. For more tips, visit: https://t.co/qOJIH3XUI5.
