LET’S PUT COVID INTO SLO MO

When we say " we are all in this together" we should remember that the COVID 19 virus is defining what this means, both in terms of what it is we are facing and how we do "this" together.

We (individuals, neighbors, businesses, communities) collectively can choose to acknowledge the virus as a potential life threatening and fatal virus or we can choose to fight the virus individually as it invades our lives, our homes and ourselves.

One look at the severe patient outcomes reported to date, reveals this virus is extremely opportunistic, it has no boundaries on where it will or will not go, it invades the human body through multiple pathways with mild or moderate illness or more severe and destroys the capacity of the human body to fight back potentially destroying our lungs, heart, kidneys and/or more.

We have learned a lot, but have yet to determine much, and in the meantime the virus marches on. Even most recently we are learning the COVID 19 virus may "reinvade" or reactivate itself in a "recovered" patient.

To fight this illusive and seemingly sophisticated virus we need keep slowing the spread and then keep the virus in SLO MO.

During SLO MO time, we need more testing to assist in the diagnosis of past, present and future COVID 19 cases and collect data to compare to test results to track virus life, virus spread and virus dissipation.

Without SLO MO we are working against a very short human resistance time clock (its a 30 SECOND WARNING- for my Nose Work friends) and hoping the virus "acts" accordingly and doesn't catch up to each of us, or any of us, individually.

If our plan to return to "productive living" includes relaxing current public health Home Stay Plus mitigations as noted by the Four Step Road Map from the American Enterprise Institute, then our focus needs to include robust testing with realistic data collection for public health that is reliable and collectible.

A workable TEST PLAN, including point of care/primary care testing and use of any and all FDA EUA approved and pending allowed tests ARE key to any return to work plan and our Public Health leaders will then be better prepared and potentially able to keep our communities safe and healthy

Our public health TEAMS will depend on our individual and community support over the next few weeks or whatever it takes to continue to the Slow the Spread and keep the COVID 19 virus in SLO MO.

SLO MO-- its JMO !

Crisis standards of care will only be implemented if needed to fight COVID-19. “This is completely uncharted territory,” one doctor says.

MASK MANIA-- HOMEMADE MASKS NEEDED- PLEASE DONATE

Hey All.

We are working on getting homemade masks for outside office and home use for everyone
Let me know if you know of anyone willing to donate masks HOME MADE MASKS like this to DOC to give to patients and build a supply chain from DOC .
Here is a You Tube for easy assembly or use what works for you for a pattern. Please make them two sided and with different pattern on each side-- or a way to tell which is the mouth cover side from the exterior. And washable is a must.

This will help Doctors On Call stay connected with our patients and community as a Primary Care hub and build a COVID awareness network for resources, services and patient guidance.

Keep in mind-- even using a bandana works or repurposing those bandanas into a stylish mask !

The Governor is encouraging all Coloradans to wear a cloth face coverings when going out in public. Please DO NOT go out and buy surgical masks - those are needed by our healthcare workers and first responders.
Remember-- whether you feel you NEED to wear a mask or not--- ITS NOT FOR YOU- Its for everyone-- everyone world wide !
