AFib happens when faulty electrical wiring between the heart’s chambers interferes with the timing of the heart’s contractions. This rapid, irregular heartbeat can increase the risk of life-threatening conditions. Learn how to reduce your risk. https://t.co/xdpxlNfLjJ

"Don’t delay care for urgent or emergent medical conditions out of fear of contracting COVID-19. For people with severe health conditions — such as heart attack or stroke — the hospital is still the safest place to be."

If you have chest pain, you need a diagnostic test because we have a treatment for a STEMI. If you have respiratory infection, we don’t have a viral specific treatment, COVID, RSV, Adeno, etc. Once you know it is in your community no need for testing, manage symptomatically.
Just a reminder that lots of other countries have been able to deploy and operationalize tests weeks ago. It’s not like freaking out about a lack of a vaccine - some stuff takes time and that’s understandable. But the tests - this is simply inexcusable.
