@IbukunMD @DukeHealth Great information, thank you Dr. Akionboyo!

I think they're expecting a visit from Big Foot at Hock!

@IbukunMD @camwolfe @beckyasmith79 I think that would be a good idea to do as long as we can.

(1/2) MMWR from today: "rate of #COVID was relatively high for floor swab samples (ICU 7/10, 70%; GW 2/13, 15.4%).. as medical staff walk around the ward, the virus can be tracked all over the floor, as indicated by 100% rate of positivity from floor in pharmacy (no patients)"
