In this moment of unrest, violence and anger, we must remember the words of Dr. King, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Let each of us try to be a light to see our country out of this dark moment.

I have spoken to DC @MayorBowser to offer our assistance. Baltimore stands ready to support our sister city.

Hospitals across the country are running out of space and staff. Please do your part to ease the burden on our health care system by continuing to wear a mask. 2021 will be a better year, but it will take all of us working together.

"If you could design a health care system that would generate delirium, you would design exactly the system we have with #COVID19" writes @sharon_inouye, the world's foremost expert in delirium.

Everything I know about the prognosis for #COVID19: 1st data out of Washington for older adults is sobering: only 1 out of 10 cases are in individuals who are 80 years and older, yet this age group accounts for 55% of all deaths. geripal.org/2020/04/what-is-…
