The term ‘flattening the curve’ is all over my Twitter, and I had a patient ask me what this meant today. With my epidemiologist colleagues Lauren Roberts, MD/MSc and @LauraARiveraMPH help, here are some tweets to explain why we are canceling social events because of #Covid_19

If you’re feeling sick, #stayhome, and encourage others to do the same. Help reduce the spread of illnesses like #COVID19. #coronavirus #flattenthecurve

Thank you for your concern! To be clear I have some mild "cold-like" symptoms. I have not been directed by Alberta Health Services to get tested for #COVID19. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

We know it’s still difficult to get through to 811. Albertans seeking timely medical advice can speak to Drs free of charge on PurposeMed.com. Naheed Nenshi Don Iveson

I would like to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, lab techs, 811 operators, and health care workers on the front lines and behind the scenes, who are working so tirelessly to care for us and keep us safe. (1/2)

We're busy working on our physician platform so clinics can speak directly to their patients through virtual care. Any Drs interested in providing input into how telemedicine should be delivered please DM for details.

Looking to speak with an Alberta based physician? PurposeMed.com gives you access to care – wherever you are.

Dr. Husein Moloo, Artsci’06, launched a new website PurposeMed which is keeping hundreds of people out of emergency rooms by allowing doctors to connect virtually with patients during the #COVID19 pandemic. #queensu #FrontLineHeroes queensu.ca/alumni/news/do…

We’re now doing demos for physicians looking to add a virtual care to their practice. Head to PurposeMed.com/for-providers to see how virtual care can help your patients.

Today's Ryan Jespersen show: can #AB go it alone for #COVID19 tests and treatments? We ask Lorian Hardcastle. We talk to the co-creator of PurposeMed, as well as funding for #TFWs with CFA. And, a check in with the Alberta Party's Jacquie Fenske. omny.fm/shows/ryan-jes…

Family doctors are still providing care to patients & I want to encourage anyone who needs care to call their doctor. Most family doctors can do virtual visits by phone or other means & can determine how to best get patients the care they need.
