1) Haven't seen any data on this, would find it Vhelpful for planning.
2) We adapted @AriadneLabs Serious Illness Conversation Guide for Covid-specific discussion. Have done lots of training with SICG generally, none in person for this application (yet?)

Two questions: 1)Do wehave any data of how many people opted not to have their care escalated to ICU / intubation? 2)Has anyone provided specific training (not just on-line tools) in how to have these convsersations? #CoronavirusOutbreak #MedEd

We have noticed people coming to holiday camp / cabin sites near here from city / elsewhere. Hope there will be guidance on this as seems at odds with evolving guidelines. @DanielAndrewsMP @DrMukeshH – at Ocean Grove - Barwon Heads, Victoria

My 1st Onc clinic with #videovisits, some takeaways:
1) Pts were game and felt part of the #COVID19 solution
2) Perfect for hospice check-ins
3) Very special to see pts in their home with family and pets
4) Air kisses and virtual hugs still filled my bucket
