How long ago impeachment seems now.

I intubated my colleague today, a young, healthy ER doc like me. This is what I learned...

The first US death from the coronavirus was February 29. The 1000th death was Thursday. The 2000th death was today.

In case you were wondering how Sweden’s “no lockdown” experiment is going:

Sen. Brian Schatz tells me after call with administration that "new plan sounds like the old plan, which is to declare victory and engage in magical thinking to try to survive another 24-hour news cycle. But they have not actually assessed how many tests they need every day."

Anne Frank spent 2 years hiding in an attic and we’ve been home for just over a month with Netflix, food delivery & video games and there are people risking viral death by storming state capital buildings & screaming, “Open Fuddruckers!”

Herd immunity? Sweden model? Sweden had a higher death rate than Denmark, Norway, and Finland, AND its economy did worse. The only alternative to controlling the virus is more deaths and more economic devastation. Choose health.
