It’s also been really strange as an anesthesiologist to experience this from the other side. We ask a LOT of questions and give a LOT of information to patients- most who don’t have a health background- and expect them to absorb it. @FortMeadeMD staff were great educators!

@mssoftware @ShereesePubHlth So no comment on or apology for framing the discussion through the lens of me being not black enough for you? Gonna double down on that?? And holders of this job have always been political appointments. You still do the best job you can as a public servant.

@mssoftware @ShereesePubHlth Attacking public servants who are doing the best they can because you disagree with the current administration is YOU making it political. My job is to help run a uniformed service and give people advice on how to be healthy- both critical tasks no matter who is in office.

@mssoftware @ShereesePubHlth The Surgeon General is by law 1st or 2nd in charge of the US Public Health Service. The new Air Force Chief is for the first time ever a black man- and politically appointed. The Army SG is black. By your logic they should step down also? Public service is always important...

@mssoftware @ShereesePubHlth And referring to the source article you are commenting on, it’s hypocritical (or just plain nonsensical) to both complain there aren’t enough people of color advising the administration, while also shaming & badgering every person of color to quit. Public service matters. Always.

Some feel face coverings infringe on their freedom of choice- but if more wear them, we’ll have MORE freedom to go out. Face coverings ➡️ less asymptomatic viral spread ➡️ more places open, and sooner! Exercise and promote your freedom by choosing to wear a face covering! https://t.co/dZOwsY2Lmt

Anyone can have mild or moderate symptoms. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. If you are worried you may have #COVID19, you can use the symptom checker developed by @CDCgov and @Google to find out if you should get tested. https://t.co/BmtNAeiEDo…

We must develop therapeutics to help infected, and vaccines to prevent infections, but must also understand containment happens locally, and there WILL be outbreaks. It simply doesn’t work to say #COVID19 is or isn’t (or will or won’t be) “contained” nationwide at this point.

Good news! Miles to go before we sleep, but we should acknowledge progress and focus on lessons learned. Social distancing, good hand and cough hygiene, face coverings, and contact tracing work!

People should always follow local guidance as it is based off j what’s happening in your community. But please remember as you venture out, social distancing and facial coverings are still important, no matter where you are!

The conditions in which people live, learn, work, and play contribute to their health. These conditions, over time, can lead to different levels of health risks, needs, and outcomes among some people in certain racial and ethnic minority groups.

As an example in a population of 100 people where disease prevalence is 5%, 5 people will actually have the disease or trait (eg antibodies). But if you test the entire population of 100 with a test that is 90% sensitive, that means 10 people will have false positives.

Know the list of serious medical symptoms and call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room if you’re experiencing any of them. https://t.co/gSpbvSKeaa

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and moms to be- especially the #melanoma fighting mother of my own kiddos. If out in public this Mother’s Day, please use sunscreen to protect yourselves, and a face covering to protect others (and physical distance to protect everyone)! https://t.co/jjeBzlPMi6
