Advice from our President, Mark Franke. For those who don't know, Mark is an Emergency Room MD with 25 years of experience. (Unlike some news sources, this guy 'walks the walk'.)
As my colleague said “stay home!" This is not a freaking snow day. Nurses doctors and EMS and hospital staff are putting their lives at stake to treat people.
You may have this - even if you have it and you’re not sick, stay home.
Chest pain, short of breath and can’t breathe - come on in to the ER. Anything else, stay home. We don’t have the capacity to test everyone. When that happens, we will let you know.
Two emergency physicians, one in his 40s in Washington state and a 70-year-old New Jersey doctor, are in critical condition after contracting COVID-19, according to a national physicians group.
