My dad, a retired pulmonologist (lung specialist):

"Don't go into public spaces with others without a mask."
I told my dad, a retired critical care doctor/pulmonologist, who spent his career working with ventilators, about @elonmusk's donation of "ventilators" that turned out to be BiPaP/CPAP machines...

Dad: "Those aren't ventilators!!!" Proceeds to laugh on the phone.

🙃
My dad isn't on twitter, but maybe I can collect some questions for him about masks + lung health + safety and get his answers for you guys? #AskAPulmonologist
Just a disclaimer-- he's stuck in Ghana and is not treating COVID cases, but perhaps I can share some of his experience
Told my dad about the reports from Michigan, Milwaukee that black people were contracting COVID19 and dying at disproportionate rates.

"America is going to see the ugly truth about medical racism. Doctors ignoring black people's symptoms, telling them to go home early, etc."
Thanks for the questions! Dad's asleep now, but will get to answering your Q's tomorrow...

(Or maybe I can get my dad on Twitter..! *fingers crossed*)
