1/ This excellent thread from @ASlavitt (via @Neal_Katyal) offers support, comfort, and hope to the many people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, or hopelessness during the #CoronavirusPandemic. https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1294765929797124099

2/ I would like to amplify @ASlavitt's points about the great strides forward that doctors, scientists, and public health experts are making every week in terms of understanding, treating, and preventing #COVID19.

3/ The ingenuity and innovation are impressive. For example, doctors at @NorthwellHealth have had some success with inducing hypothermia to help get patients off ventilators. (Via @KarenStephan.) https://abcn.ws/3g7LcKY 

4/ Also in New York, doctors at @MountSinaiNYC have seen promising results from using "medicinal signaling cells," or MSCs, to treat severely ill #COVID19 patients on ventilators. (Via @CharlesHughes62.) https://on.wsj.com/3av4n04 

5/ Of course, the research into these and other treatments is still ongoing, so we can't draw final conclusions yet.

But the overarching point remains: so many people are working so very hard at dealing with the #COVID19 crisis.

6/ Despite the grim news, there is much to be hopeful about when it comes to #COVID19.

But at the same time, we can't get complacent or let our guard down; this fight is far from over.

7/ Take care of yourself. Seek help when you need it. In my long recovery from #COVID19, I have not been shy about relying on friends, family, and medical professionals, including my longtime therapist.

Have a good night, everyone. https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1294766750546964482
