PSA of the day: you can initiate comfort care in the ED if it’s what the family wishes. Just did this the other day. Comfort care is not just reserved for the floor. It can start in the ED.

1/ The CDC tried to balance public health with what people are willing to do in its COVID isolation/quarantine policy. Yes, everyone is exhausted of living through this pandemic. But what about what healthcare workers are willing & able to do? to keep doing?
