Admitting its own negligent planning for the #COVID19 #outbreak, @HHSGov on Monday "told medical professionals ... there was not enough personal protective equipment in the Strategic National Stockpile to cover expected gaps in state and local supplies"https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/politics/what-is-defense-production-act/index.html …

Of course not! Yet the most commonly performed surgery in the US continues to be nontherapeutic infant
#circumcision. Not one of these surgeries is needed, helpful or even ethical - but US MDs performed about 3000 of them TODAY, and will perform another 3000 or so tomorrow#i2Show this thread -
The insanity that is the US infant
#circumcision machine MUST STOP RIGHT NOW. If not because most of the rest of the world's MDs rightly abhor the practice as unethical & ineffective, then because we can no longer afford to waste medical resources on it.#i2#COVID19@SecAzarShow this thread -
@realDonaldTrump and our other leaders can & should order a total moratorium on all nontherapeutic (i.e., elective)#circumcisions for the duration (at least) of the#COVID19 national emergency - as it threatens to push the US health system to the breaking point if not beyond#i2Show this thread -
We've had to
#CancelEverything else due to#COVID19. It's about time we cancelled#circumcision so the US health care system can focus on what ought to be its mission - providing care to the sick - not torturing infants.#i2@HHSGov@CDCgov@AmerAcadPeds@AmerMedicalAssn@SecAzarShow this thread
