    New narrative this week says "we can't sacrifice entire US economy for some elderly/debilitated Americans"? Cruelty aside, I say flawed thinking: 1) 40-50% of hospitalized/ICU patients <54 yo, many 20-44 (see below); 2) Hospital systems already collapsing https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6912e2.htm …

        We do, however, need our authorities to be working to prepare for easing restrictions and for getting things back on track, for example by preparing for mass testing (and mass serological testing) and increasing capacity. These measures can give a respite, but aren’t sustainable.

        We should be prepared to stay sheltered for several weeks, but it’s crucial things are done during this. My governor seems aware of that. But it needs to be in all states amd national, and I don’t see that. Worried. https://twitter.com/cmyeaton/status/1242282985942065160?s=21 …https://twitter.com/cmyeaton/status/1242282985942065160 …

        This is the moment I warned of - we have sacrificed so much already, but it feels like nothing is working. That's because it takes weeks to see results. We must stay committed and trust that the social distancing we are enduring now will save thousands of lives. https://twitter.com/cmyeaton/status/1240338392463945733 …

        I work in healthcare professional liability claims - in a company that provides risk services to the long term care industry. Never, never in my life did I think we'd get here. And yet... here we are. I'm tired. I'm gutted. I'm angry. I'm sooo angry.

        They just want to avoid admitting that their "god" of the market isn't infallible and omnipotent by taking the necessary gov action to resolve this as other counties have. They'd rather let Americans die even though mass testing would do more good to get the economy going faster.

        And we on the frontlines are still struggling with acquiring the correct PPE, answering questions for patients, making sure O2 needs are met ...can we at least try and get the upper hand before talking about the economy
