40% of women physicians go part-time or leave medicine altogether within six years of completing their residencies. Rather than blaming this on women’s “choices,” we should fix the structural obstacles that hinder their careers. Read more in @aamcnews: tinyurl.com/y45jn3hu

I think we are not as prepared as we should be, either as a nation or globally and, remember than in a globalized world you are a strong as your weakest link. nytimes.com/2020/02/29/hea…

Series of missed chances by federal govt to ensure widespread testing during early days when containment would have been easier... Local officials left to work in the dark as the crisis grew undetected & exponentially... And now look at the USA curve... nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/…

#COVID19 social distancing policy changes must be based on evidence & public health readiness. Easing guidelines too soon could result in more deaths, economic hardship. IDSA & HIV Medicine Association recommend a rolling approach only after specific steps have been made: bit.ly/2VejVyV

Today the mask requirement for public indoor spaces goes into effect for Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Polk, Hood River, and Lincoln counties. This will save lives. Let me share with you why I wear a mask, and why I hope you will too.
