Afternoon well spent, standing up a display to memorialize lives lost to opioid overdose in MA. 2,104 flags, one for each death in ‘20. Grateful to colleagues from the ED, Psychiatry, Primary Care etc. for helping make it all go so smoothly. Up for two weeks; all welcome to view.

But now even we’ve had an outbreak—30+ people infected @BrighamWomens. So it’s back to our basics—doubling down on masks, distancing, testing, tracing. It works. And I feel lucky to be in a place where we all know it and pull together to make it happen w/o blaming or shaming.

Non-clinical employees were invited to take home a daffodil plant as a small gesture of gratitude. The daffodils, intended for the Boston Marathon route, were donated by @seaportbos to local hospitals instead. As staff exited, they were greeted with a round of sincere applause.👏

Shoutout to some of our amazing #RespiratoryTherapists! The monitors they are standing next to are the ventilator screens, so the therapists can reduce #PPE by not entering the rooms for every ventilator change. #HealthcareHeroes

Stories like this showcase exactly who we are as Americans. In times of crisis, we stand as one. We help out folks we've never met, lift each other up, and do our part to ensure we make it through. We will overcome this, together.

It took 70 days from initial notification for Trump to treat the coronavirus not as a distant threat or harmless flu strain, but as a lethal force poised to kill tens of thousands. That period now stands as critical time that was squandered. wapo.st/3aIsOX3
