Thankful today for science. After working a large Covid outbreak in LTC, the opportunity to get this vaccine feels like a day that would never come. I gladly take this shot today for my patients, family, and to help end this pandemic. #ThisIsOurShot @AANP_NEWS @AMDApaltc
A very big thank you to @CoachZoni, @LeahCville, and all the volunteers, including @rprav8r, for an amazing morning running the @RivannaMarathon. Today’s accomplishment was definitely a high spot of 2020!

JOE BIDEN DEFEATS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
The Associated Press declares Joe Biden the winner of a grueling campaign for the American presidency. He will lead a polarized nation through a historic collision of health, economic and social crises.

Kicked off #NursesWeek with the National Guard and VDH for mask fit testing and Covid point prevalence testing. I’m thankful Virginia has the resources to provide these now, but next year I’d be happy celebrating the week with a donut or piece of cake, minus the pandemic.

Nursing homes need more support. Also should have increased pay for those who work there
Every NH in the country needs to test staff if at all possible! “We don’t know what we don’t know.” @CALTCM #Geriatrics #WeArePALTC #WeAreTheMedicalDirectors
“Access to high-speed internet is a major obstacle in Virginia that creates a greater divide in health disparities between high- and low-income people.” The widespread adoption of telemedicine has highlighted this gap #COVID19 @Nurs621

“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
The heroes of this pandemic are found not only in the hospitals, but in the nursing homes as well. I am proud to work in the specialty of geriatrics. #paltc #covid19
"These residents, I feel like they are like family to me now." Inside an outbreak at a long-term care center, employees say they just want to be by residents' sides:

I hate headlines like this so I’ll say it again, If an engineer builds a one winged airplane that doesn’t fly, why blame the pilot and flight crew? Our society has underresourced NH’s and responds with surveys and fines. And blame.
At least 6,900 people living in or connected to nursing homes across the U.S. have died of the coronavirus, a New York Times tally found, far more people than previously known.
About one-fifth of all U.S. virus deaths are linked to the facilities. nyti.ms/34JlR5O
This is tragic. So thankful for and proud of my colleagues managing this outbreak. They are true heroes for these residents. #COVIDー19 #StayAtHomeSaveLives #HealthcareHeroes
#BREAKING 81 residents test positive for COVID-19, according to Accordius Health of Harrisonburg. Two have died.
Statement: “When the virus hit our Harrisonburg center “it was like a freight train.” We literally went from 1 mildly symptomatic case to 50 in 72 hours.”

We should have been paying a lot more attention to how to adapt nursing homes to deal with COVID. As @themoruknow pointed out, researchers are quite literally going to do a postmortem on this when the administrative data are available, and the numbers are going to be staggering.
This quoted post is unavailable.
A task force providing extra support should have been in place after the Washington St. Life Care outbreak. Now Covid-19 is already spreading in VA facilities
We need testing for all staff and residents and much, much more PPE @GovernorVA
NOW: @GovernorVA says Canterbury Rehabilitation and Health Care is the largest outbreak at a long-term care facility in the country. Adding a task force to focus on these types of communities. @NBC12
