Two Emergency Physicians in Critical Condition
A Statement from ACEP President William Jaquis, MD, FACEP:
Today we received word that two of our ACEP members are in critical condition as a result of COVID-19. An emergency physician in his 40s in the state of Washington presented with symptoms consistent with the COVID-19 syndrome. A 70-year-old member in New Jersey has tested positive for the virus. I am deeply saddened by this news, but not surprised. As emergency physicians, we know the risks of our calling. We stand united with our colleagues and our thoughts and prayers for a full and speedy recovery are with each of them and their families.
In Washington, whether this was a case of occupational transmission or community-based spread of the disease is unknown. The hospital was acutely aware of the COVID-19 risk to health care workers and has worked closely with the CDC to ensure the appropriate policies and procedures are in place to mitigate risk. This emergency physician complied at all times with appropriate PPE procedures.
In Patterson, NJ, the physician, who leads his institution’s emergency preparedness, was admitted to the hospital several days ago with upper respiratory problems and remains in isolation in its intensive care unit.
It is my hope that these colleagues and their cases serve as a reminder to each of us to stay vigilant. This virus is dangerous, and its impact is still unfolding. As emergency physicians, we answer the call to care for our most vulnerable, even at great personal risk. Knowing that, I urge each of you to meticulously follow the recommended precautions to protect yourself.
Rest assured ACEP will continue working tirelessly at the national level to ensure our members are safe. We remain in contact with CDC, Congress, regulatory agencies and other key decision-makers to do all we can to protect patients, physicians and emergency personnel.
I am proud of your competence, dedication and, most of all, your bravery. As our thoughts turn toward Washington and New Jersey, we remain committed to being there for anyone, at any time.
Thanks

Coronavirus cases in New York state nearly doubled overnight, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday morning.
New York now has 2,382 confirmed cases of COVID-19, up more than 1,000 from yesterday. More than half of them – 1,339 cases – are in the New York City area. Onondaga County confirmed its third case Wednesday.
Twenty people in the Empire State have died from the disease, including Upstate New York’s first death. A Rochester hospital worker died on Tuesday, a week after reportedly first showing symptoms.
More than 14,000 people have been tested state-wide, Cuomo also said. Of the confirmed cases, more than 500 – or 23 percent – have required hospitalization.
I should clarify though, I think some have started going to twice daily updates.
Wife participated in many blood drives and walk-a-thons. Good for you father! :)

Expecting my small house to go from me and the great pyr to three more plus another dog, then one more 91 y/o to drop food & supplies to. Garden will feed us a bit and keep us busy at the same time. Times are changing

Any Drs want to tell us the last time they let this happen.
Not familiar with this law
If I could participate in blood drives, I would, even though I want to go out as rarely as possible. I can’t, however, due to a history of cancer — happened over 30 years ago, but I still have a lifetime ban on donating blood. Meanwhile, homosexual men who have been celibate for 6 months can donate. What can you do?
