Thanks to @slcmayor for the slc school district mask mandate. It will no doubt help prevent the spread of covid. #MaskUp

Impressive to see @UofUHealth incredible ER teams today; rounding with Stephen Hartsell, Christy Hopkins, Colleen Connelly, Melinda Patterson, & their teams. We're fortunate & grateful to have them on the front lines of #COVID19 & are all safer b/c they are here. #HeroesWorkHere

We can’t laud our doctors and nurses as heroes one day and then turn around and do nothing to combat the crisis that’s overwhelming their hospitals and ICU beds. We need action—not empty platitudes.

(1/ )There has been an overwhelming interest in the use of hepatic waveforms as a congestive parameter. With social media, somewhat obscure concepts like these are quickly brought to the forefront and implemented in clinical practice. Many are eager to incorporate #VEXUS but...

Requiring masks is a low-impact way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 without having to revert to stricter measures. I still believe the state needs to consider this everywhere, but today I specifically asked that we be allowed to require them in #SLC alongside the county. #utpol

Laura Ingraham to LeBron and KD: “Shut up and dribble!” To Drew Brees: “He’s allowed to have an opinion.” 🧐

Utahns can change party affiliation here to vote in republican primaries. This is the election that will likely determine our next governor so vote to keep out Trump loyalists. You can always change your affiliation back later! slco.org/clerk/elections/vot…

If you let your coworker do that to another human being without trying to stop him or talk to him out of it, you are as gulty as he is. Frustrating for the majority of good cops that take a lot of risk doing their job the right way everyday.

Today I scanned myself. Surprised to find some irregularities in my pleural line (not seen before). As I said to an earlier patient, pleural or lung fibrotic changes might happen. Could explain some remaining mild symptoms, but shouldn't concern too much. #mycoviddiary #COVID19

Some have suggested that we reopen business based on Sweden’s numbers. I just did some math. Sweden’s first death was 3/11 so they are now on day 47 and have 2,274 deaths with a population of 10.2 million. That’s a death rate of 0.022% of the population. 1/2

The USA had its first death on 2/29 so 47 days later on 4/16 they had 34,905 deaths and a population of 331million. That’s a death rate of 0.011%. Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems that closing businesses works and cut the death rate in half. 2/2

Serious post: Dear breakfast burrito, I’m sorry that I flirted with breakfast tacos. I was foolish to think of them as smaller versions of you. I had my heart broken when their contents spilled onto my lap today. I will never doubt you again. Please let me have you back.
