Kinda surreal when the President starts accusing your 75 yr old friend of being an agent of ANTIFA. My friend Martin Gugino is an old man with cancer who is now in the hospital with brain damage after being pushed to the ground by a police officer he was trying to talk to.

Loving every ep of #TheLastDance.Growing up MJ was my idol. Watching his mental approach is captivating, and drove me to always do more. Study the opponent and practice technique. Repeat over and over. If you do this usually you'll succeed. Same holds true in #IRad. 💪🏽🏨❤️

If we want life to approach anything like normal anytime soon, we need a comprehensive testing program. It’s not going to be cheap, but it will ultimately pay off many times over in saved lives, saved businesses, and saved jobs. vox.com/2020/4/13/21215133/c…

How one small town at the center of the outbreak has cut infections virtually to zero: test all 3,300 in town, isolate the 3 percent who tested positive. Infection rate 10 days later down to .3 percent. ft.com/content/0dba7ea8-6713…

Other countries responded quickly and aggressively to combat the spread of coronavirus. Trump failed to do the same—and now the U.S. has the most cases in the world.

Before you Tweet, T-H-I-N-K: 1. Is it true? 2. Is it helpful? 3. Is it inspiring? 4. Is it necessary? 5. Is it kind?

Anticoagulation Guidance Emerging for Severe #COVID19. Almost as if this is acting like a vasculitis?? Wonder if anyone else is seeing similar cases of hypercoagulability in their COVID cases? medpagetoday.com/infectiousd… #COVIDCanada #stayhome #flattenthecurve

Oh man. Trudeau says, on wearing masks, that his understanding is it can be helpful as it prevents you from "breathing or speaking moistly" on others. "Ugh what a terrible image." MOISTLY. Our prime Minister just said "moistly," folks. More: CTVNews.ca.

I’ve never experienced this much stress in my entire medical career — treating sick young #COVID19 patients here in #NYC is beyond difficult. The fear is palpable among us all on the frontlines... please stay at home — it means the world to us #SocialDistance

Anyone know DOCTORS or NURSES on the frontlines battling coronavirus? Putting together a video of firsthand accounts to help fundraise for N95 masks - looking to speak to anyone willing to go on camera briefly. Please DM if you know anyone who might be down to chat!

quickicutraining.com/ For those of us who need a refresher. Because, well, you never know. 😷 #HealthcareHeroes #COVID19Ontario #COVID19
Just my own practice - 3 patients died of heart failure at home, 2 -AS patients waiting for “elective” TAVR, 1 delayed STEMI presentation with shock. These are the casualties that won’t make the statistics.

Small example of how ignoring the social distancing can impact spread of #COVID19. Please don't ignore the medical experts, the situation is dire across the globe. #COVIDCanada #COVID19US #FlattenTheCurve
