800,000 deaths, and the distinction of being the worst country in the world for COVID-19 fatalities.

Nation faces a health crisis. 1) everyone agrees a new medicine is needed. 2) public & private sectors partner to create a new & effective drug in record time. 3) everyone gets the new drug for free. New pharma business model?
Nearly lost in the news of protests & a pandemic, our youngest son Charlie is graduating from @HopkinsHigh270 today! Taking the day off to celebrate him & his accomplishments. #HopkinsGrad2020 #HopkinsStrong

The market is now flooded with over 200 antibody (serological) tests, without FDA validation, and of questionable accuracy. For the finger-prick (LFA) rapid tests, “their performance is inadequate for most individual patient applications.” @mnhealth the-scientist.com/news-opini…

On #ArborDayAtHome, getting outside & planting a tree might be just what the doctor ordered. weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/w…

On Arbor Day 2020, we are planting hope

This year, despite the current global health crisis, Arbor Day can remind us that trees are a symbol of national resolve and optimism. Here's why.

I never imagined that would need to be said out loud.

I am grateful that MN has a plan for robust #covid19mn testing, & wish every state did. @mnhealth @GovTimWalz #coronavirusmn #StayHomeMN washingtonpost.com/health/20…

In two states, a vast testing gap shows what it means to have no national strategy

Kentucky and Rhode Island have done nearly the same number of coronavirus tests — but with vastly different sized populations. And that makes all the difference.

Today, April 22, is the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day. Representative Patty Acomb, the Chair of the House Climate Action Caucus, released the following statement to commemorate the holiday.
Today is the landmark 50th anniversary of Earth Day. My wife @PattyAcomb had the honor to talk with MN icon Vice President Walter Mondale about the first event in 1970 & his thoughts on that transformative moment. @mndnr @MnPCA #mnleg #EarthDay2020 m.youtube.com/watch?v=BdfBIn…

Some are now paying for private serological (antibody) testing. Buyer beware - “some firms are falsely claiming that their serological tests are FDA approved or authorized, or falsely claiming that these tests can diagnose #covid19m” @mnhealth #StayHomeMN fda.gov/medical-devices/lett…

As challenging as #covid19mn has been here, MN is still better off than our neighboring states & much of the country. @GovTimWalz #mnleg #coronavirusmn #StayAtHomeMn

And here’s a little levity in the current debate (we could all use some). @mnhealth @GovTimWalz #mnleg #coronavirusmn

Continue to see & hear false arguments that #covid19mn deaths are no worse than those from car accidents, seasonal flu, etc. This graphic sums up the scale & urgency of the problem, and it’s not over yet. #coronavirusmn #mnleg

Hydroxychloroquine isn’t an effective treatment for #covid19mn . Meanwhile, we’ve created unnecessary shortages of Plaquenil for people with lupus & rheumatoid arthritis. This is why science should drive our decisions, not politics. #mnleg #coronavirusmn latimes.com/science/story/20…

Malaria drugs fail to help coronavirus patients in controlled studies

Hydroxychloroquine, the drug President Trump hailed as a coronavirus killer, had no beneficial effect for COVID-19 patients in two controlled trials.
