“(...) start training your backups.” Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
To all airway management personnel: ❗This is the post-normal era. There are NO MORE emergency intubations. ❗Proper donning of PPE takes time. SLOW = SAFE. ❗You are a precious resource. Do not risk getting exposed. ❗Start training your backups. #COVID19 #GetUsPPE

...meanwhile in Alabama...
I shouldn't have to estimate these numbers by contacting every major hospital in the state for their individual numbers, which is what I did here. The Alabama Department of Public Health should be releasing these numbers every day. Most other states are. alreporter.com/2020/03/25/al…

Despite the challenges of COVID-19. I am amazed at what we can achieve when we dump tribalism in healthcare. Every time I have spoken to a team whether anaes/ICU, radio, surg the response has been "how can I help?" When this is all over, lets maintain this level of teamwork!

To date, UAB has 45 confirmed cases of #COVID19. Evidence is overwhelming that there is rapid community spread of the virus. Do your part to stop the spread: social distance, wash your hands/sanitize surfaces frequently — & STAY HOME & AVOID OTHERS.

I am beyond grateful to all of you on the frontline of this battle. #thankyou
This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London. I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19
