Good example of how BIPOC marginalization is often perpetuated not by malice but when folks with power preferentially aid friends who PS look a lot like them
With a wider vote margin than JFK’s or Reagan’s, a decisive Electoral College win in purple (MI, PA, WISC) along with red (AZ, GA) states from the NE to the SW, defeating a ruthless opponent who held all the keys of power, @JoeBiden has a mandate to restore decency to governing.
As the voting deadline approaches, VTDigger has broken down where the two major party candidates for governor and lieutenant governor stand on some of the most important issues in the state.

Today.
I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.
I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.
I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.
While vast majority of deaths from #COVID19 are age 60+ many young adults and middle aged Americans are becoming seriously ill and surviving only after prolonged hospitalizations and ICU admissions that have long term consequences. This is a dangerous virus for most age groups.
This is a tremendously useful for organizations ramping up their capacity and processes to deal with patients presenting with COVID. I'm thrilled to have been a small part of the development - https://t.co/g5sQmCREmw
Woah. Gov Cuomo says cases in NY are doubling every 2.5 days according to new modeling.
3/23/20: 22,000 cases 157 deaths - .71% mortality rate (7 times greater than flu)
No one wants to think about what that looks like 3 weeks from now.
Please pray for my pal @DavidLat. He is only 44 years old. He is a brilliant mind and a kind soul. All of us are pulling hard for him right now. #COVID19#StayAtHome https://t.co/w5HCB5sSyZ
Similar to the way that Italian city states in the 13th century responded to the plague. Those states (like Venice) dependent upon trade refused to quarantine; those states that did had far fewer deaths. Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it.
About to go on @JohnKingCNN to talk about where we are.
And how to protect healthcare workers.
And where are we going next?
With my friend and colleague @meganranney!
Questions about #COVID? Here’s a link to my a 1-hr Facebook live Q&A for the general public.
Pretty remarkable to see how many thousands of people it reached.
Let us know if you want another update in a week or two

"To break away from Italy’s trajectory, [the US has] to respond with stronger measures than Italy. We have to respond in ways that feel like an overreaction."

CEO of Marriot just set the gold standard in how to communicate bad news. Watch to see a master class in a empathetic, transparent, authentic voice in a crisis.
This is great news. I don't know exactly which hospitals are most in need, but my understanding is NYC and Seattle hospitals are in acute danger. If you're a hospital with a ventilator shortage or someone in a position to compile a list, please let @elonmusk and me know here.
