Gjusta restaurant in #Venice temporarily closed due to COVID-19 infections among staff.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Yesterday, 170 broken ventilators arrived in Los Angeles from the national stockpile. Rather than complaining, we got a truck & drove them to @bloom_energy to be fixed. Monday they will all be working -- and back in L.A.

This is the California spirit - we will meet this moment!

Thursday 3/19: US Covid19 cases at 10,000
Tuesday 3/24: US cases at 53,000
Doubling every 2 days. If this continues, we hit 1 million next week.
But in California, cases increased from 910 to 2,450, doubling every 5 days. Maybe social distancing is slowing the virus down

@realDonaldTrump ADDERALL & DIET COKE, taken together, make you suggest unproven medicines during a pandemic.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

@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.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

@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.

- Emergency sick leave
- Quarantines
- Cancellations
- Giving a damn
