What can you do instead? You can still take walks outside, shop for essentials and enjoy your online community of friends. Stay connected in other ways. Check in on your loved ones and friends frequently. Keep informed about what is happening in your neighborhood. Give to people in need in your community: supplies for food pantries, financial donations, personal hygiene items. #stayhome #covid19 #flattenthecurve #pleasestayhome (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B90OCGkH-tq/?igshid=p8gei88bx4if

Please stay home. Take a walk outside. Run around an uncrowded park, field, beach, dune, courtyard, driveway... But please socially distance (6 feet or more), wash hands, cover your coughs and sneezes. This will get better, but first it will get worse. Thank you @adviceigivemyfriends 📊The numbers 📈 So a lot of people commented on this chart and I wanted to describe it and it’s limitations. It’s based off data from the @who Let’s talk about Italy, it’s population is 60 million, and it’s an older population (10 years older on average). Covid has hit there and hit hard overwhelming hospitals and leading to a 6.3% mortality rate. 3/4 they implemented social distancing and school closures and 3/9 they locked down the country. Italy has done a lot of testing 1,000 test per million as of 3/9 whereas South Korea had done 4,000ish/million and the US had done 26/million. The US is much bigger at 327 million. So these are rough numbers and comparatively Italy was a much higher percentage. Accordingly our school closures and social distancing is happening early based on percentage of the population. Hopefully, we are more spread out, younger and we’ll experience a mortality more similar to that of Korea since we are prepared. But in NY state for example we have 3,200 ICU beds with typically 80%+ capacity so a maximum of 640 open beds (before we stop elective surgeries and not acknowledging mismatch between city cases and rural beds). We know in NY alone there are likely 10,000 cases so in 2 weeks a minimum of 500 patients may need an ICU bed. And the number of cases is still doubling every 3 days. So we socially distance. Take this very seriously. I know you are, but tell a friend. No grandparent visits. No more school. No more playgrounds. No travel. No more play dates unless you have a buddy family. Minimum of 2 weeks, but personally I am planning for this to last until Memorial Day. Questions? (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9y30R-HlOJ/?igshid=1n0nw7eqaeafk

Great advice from @dr.breastfeeding . . . Guidelines state that breastfeeding patients should discuss with healthcare professionals about continuing to express milk or not.⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣Little data is available. Recommendations are based influenza and other coronavirus infections (e.g. SARS).⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣Breastmilk protects against infection.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣It is unknown if the COVID-19 is transmitted in breastmilk.⁣ Transmission through respiratory droplets is currently a higher concern than transmission through breastmilk.⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣If a mother is diagnosed (or suspected) to have COVID-19, then she should hand wash, avoid respiratory droplets on the infant, and if possible, wear a facemask while breastfeeding.⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣Separation of infant and mother is controversial & based on the organization.⁣ ⁣ 6️⃣If hospital protocols require separation, then a mother will need extra support to express milk (access to a pump, supplies, storage for milk, etc).⁣ ⁣ 7️⃣It is RARE that a mother should have to stop breastfeeding or providing expressed milk.⁣ ⁣ 8️⃣If decision is made to utilize formula, then a mother will need guidance. (Transition to bottles, use of slow flow nipples, paced bottle feeding, etc.)⁣ ⁣ 9️⃣LCs should be available by phone or virtually to assist with troubleshooting problems/changes during times of illness. Refer early and often.⁣ ⁣ 🔟Recommendations for inpatient and outpatient management are freely available from the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.⁣ ⁣ Follow CDC = most up-to-date information.⁣ ⁣ See comments for references. *Posts are informational only, not medical advice* (at Mount Sinai Queens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ovj6cH36I/?igshid=uapv7do3iavq
