New Rochelle has SUCCESSFULLY flattened the curve!!! “latest data indicates that the measures may be starting to work. The outbreak has appeared to slow: Over the last four days, only 38 new cases were reported to the county.” #COVID19 https://t.co/1aaIta8Tpf

[....] In our larger environment, mask resterilization has progressed rapidly through theory to practice and appears poised to handle a remarkably large number of masks/day with a dry-heat method. As I understand it, this includes N95 masks. 3D-manufactured face shields developed by CU engineers should be in use later today. Clusters of our mothballed elective ORs have already been converted to ICU pods with 2 or 3 patients per room, including two patients being carefully managed on one ventilator. We now have the machine capacity to do 1,000 PCR antigen tests per day, but can’t fully utilize that capacity because of severely limited swabs, transfer medium, and the PPE required for the person doing the swabbing. Pathology is rapidly testing a variety of swab and transfer medium alternatives. Related resources from our idle basic science labs are on offer immediately if they become relevant. A serum test for anti-Coronavirus antibody is on the verge of clinical applicability, pending a few logistic hurdles. The ability to detect antibody will help epidemiologically in scaling the denominator of infected patients and makes possible exciting efforts that are underway to study therapeutic uses of convalescent plasma (obtained from patients who are antigen-negative, antibody-positive) [....]
