National analysis of COVID-19 and older emergency physicians 2020-11-04 .txt text/plain 609 33 53 On October 23, 2020, the U.S. reached a new pandemic record of 83,010 daily cases, 1 and all signs point toward an impending "second wave" or "third surge." Given the association between advanced age and COVID-19 severity, 2 our objective was to compare the geographic distribution of U.S. EPs age  60 years to the cumulative distribution of confirmed COVID-19 cases, to highlight the potential risks faced by this vulnerable population of clinicians. Emergency departments could also amend operations to prioritize reduction of nosocomial transmission risk among advanced age EPs (e.g., allocating critically limited PPE to higher-risk physicians, geographically cohorting patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection within an emergency department). States were grouped into color-coordinated quintiles based on relative proportion of older EPs, and cumulative COVID-19 case volumes were adjusted with a logarithmic scale to create proportionally-sized data points. ./cache/cord-308807-9yggo5yk.txt ./txt/cord-308807-9yggo5yk.txt
