I suspect there will be a higher mortality from some stuff...due to this. Then again, car accidents will be lower.

Thank heavens he did go to the ER. I don't know how they're triaging patients to prevent them from picking up the coronavirus, though.

No, they don't unfortunately. Our specialists do, but not my primary.

I contacted my pharmacy today and asked if they'd call my pcp. They got through and I'm getting my refills.

It worked well for me in getting my prescription refills.

That's good to hear, and a big relief to you. I know it would be to me.

Stay well.

Some ERs are having separate entrance and interview rooms. Some are doing preliminary assessment in the parking lot. Some.
