I received these @ppcgv samples a while back. Now I figure that it couldn't hurt to take it now, and try to keep my immune system safe.

Vitamin D supplements may potentially reduce risk of respiratory infections such as influenza. It could potentially help fight #COVID19 infection, providing some protection for vulnerable people. Read my @FoxNews OpEd https://t.co/2d0xjApnWI #KnowCOVID
Important science update from @CyrusShahpar of @ResolveTSL on #COVID19. Important insights on the latest knowledge - and what we don't know - about the pandemic and how to control it. https://t.co/9ss97Opllx
Was this too subtle? Cruise ships efficient vector for spreading #COVID19. @CDCgov report shows how complex management of ships w cases was - easy to criticize but hard to manage. What clearly should have been done sooner was for White House to approve stopping all cruises.
For areas NOT experiencing surge, 5 priorities to suppress #COVID19
-Aggressive testing & tracing
-Prepare to surge safely
-Preserve health care functions
-Learn intensively
-Adapt to a new normal

@realDonaldTrump I know this is an emergency and we are desperate. But as a physician, I took a solemn oath to “first, do no harm.” That means not testing off label drugs on human patients that may have side effects like vision and hearing loss, heart problems, and death for an unproven benefit.
@realDonaldTrump The combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to treat the coronavirus has not been proven safe and effective through large scale clinical trials. There is only anecdotal evidence from case reports in countries overseas. Promising them as miracle drugs gives false hope.
in followup, Remdesivir and Chloroquine represent agents that may have broad antiviral activity- and while unlikely to resolve #COVID19 infection- may be important tools in our toolbox that have enough activity to prevent more serious outcomes. Hope these get evaluated quickly!
2/2 ... 7 potentially deadly mistakes in US #COVID19 response:

5. Not effectively communicating risk
6. Not hearing from @CDCgov every day
7. Partisanship

Did you know there are now over 2 million “superbug" (drug-resistant) infections in the US every year that cause over 23,000 deaths annually? Learn how #EZCPak can help reduce #AntibioticResistance
"Restricting the use of antibiotics may not be enough to curb the spread of resistant bacteria- Efforts will also have to focus on preventing infections by the superbugs in the first place" Try, EZC Pak!

Recent findings show patients are still prescribed the wrong antibiotics for common conditions at high rates. Choosing the right antibiotic helps protect public health by slowing the emergence of resistance. https://t.co/uxqBt5yA5n @CDCgov
