      And particularly given the historical subcultural reality of getting "the convention crud" -- whatever infectious disease happens to be going around that weekend.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1235586185436606464 …

      Completely understand how hard it must be to pull the plug on something like this. But this seems really ill-advised. https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1235576091487670276 …

      Yeah, pub health officials obvs are the ones who need to make a call, not me. But this is a big big gathering and right in the center of the largest confirmed outbreak zone in the US. Just does not seem advisable.

      What I'd like to see reporting on is to what degree public health officials are being shaped by Trump's business-as-usual messaging.

          I'd just like to know how many tests have been administered at this point. It seems like a reasonable question.

          The ACEP, American College of Emergency Physicians, just came out with their own guidance complete with policy recommendations. Clearly they aren't waiting on Pence for clearance. https://www.acep.org/coronavirus?_cldee=cGpzYnJvd24zQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D&recipientid=contact-3147ef45b4f5de118fbe005056ae278f-5ec085bab3054b9fa2c9e5395145d345&esid=9532ebe2-685e-ea11-a9b6-a7de6060984f … If you want the docs they send emergency physicians, I can send them.
