Determining immunity begins w/ info & data. The immune can go back to work. Eventual #coronavirus vaccine should go out ASAP. Knowing who is immune will help doctors prioritize who needs the vaccine. I wrote about this last week in @WSJ. — PolitiTweet.org

#CARES Act includes $500 million for CDC to upgrade systems. I'm working with them to ensure this is done efficiently. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

War games showed need for real-time epidemiological tracking by @CDCgov. This enables us to allow #coronavirus immune to go back to work, protect vulnerable. If community relatively unaffected, can institute containment like South Korea. https://t.co/a2tiZWzCuW — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Businesses need single point of contact on federal, state and local level that can help with immediate health care needs. Regions peak at different times, so we need to know where to prioritize sending supplies. Medical experts will know where to allocate complex medical devices. https://t.co/3pEps7ioVX — PolitiTweet.org

For example, this website serves as a good resource for those who may have an innovation they would like to bring to market to address the #coronavirus epidemic. https://t.co/JfrtlbkqGy — PolitiTweet.org

Businesses need certainty from federal govt on legal, liability & regulatory issues - like expedited FDA approval - to bolster public/private partnerships. The administration’s continued support in these areas is key. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Critical that we continue @realDonaldTrump administration’s work to regularly bring government, business community together to assess #coronavirus threats & vulnerabilities, then develop attack plan. See below from study: https://t.co/W0h8wjhvs3 — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Lessons clear: Quick response needs clear, strong federal government leadership - like #coronavirus quarantine. Must enhance partnerships btwn government, business & health communities to develop response capabilities to public health threats like #COVID-19. This will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

America can look to post-9/11 bioterrorism war game study for how to stop #coronavirus. Lessons relevant today. From federal, state and local governments to the business & medical communities, all-of-the-above response is needed. We must solve together bc we are #InItTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Under the #CARESAct, students are allowed to drop their courses during this #coronavirus emergency without having to repay federal financial aid. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

This is a stressful time for many college students who had to return home or were unable to complete their coursework due to #COVIDー19. I want to guarantee that students don’t have an added burden of worrying about their student loans. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Last week in @WSJ, I argued for establishing a #coronavirus immune registry. It would allow us to know who is immune and can go to work, and who is more vulnerable. Immunity is key to getting economy going. Germany is launching a similar plan, seen at link https://t.co/jHgYEKdUTz — PolitiTweet.org

On #NationalDoctorsDay, we thank the brave men and women who work tirelessly each day on the frontlines of this health crisis to provide care to those suffering from #coronavirus. Your heroism is appreciated by all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

If someone has been exposed to #coronavirus and recovers, they’re likely immune for at least a year. We must establish an immunity registry so those who are immune can be the nurses’ aide or bartender not fearing that they will be infected or that they will infect other people. https://t.co/5HZMR3R8dv — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

We need to set up coronavirus-immunity registries. This, coupled with widespread testing to document immunity, will allow herd immunity to develop and let those who are immune return to work. https://t.co/fY9GL7QDWN — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

I joined @wolfblitzer last night to talk about the latest information regarding Louisiana's response to #coronavirus. We're working around the clock to ensure New Orleans and other areas of our state are equipped to handle #COVIDー19 cases. Full interview below 👇 https://t.co/m92f0Wsz4m — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why I secured $300 million for Fishery Assistance to aid these seafood farmers and others in the industry who are feeling the impacts of #coronavirus. https://t.co/yzMuwz1b1r — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Louisiana’s seafood industry is a vital part of our state’s economy. We are grappling with a crisis of unprecedented proportions, and I want to ensure that our shrimp and oyster producers will be okay. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

If we can shut down the spread of #coronavirus at its current hot spots, we’re going to set the stage for recovery. When we begin to see a decrease in the number of new cases, then we know we're flattening the curve. Events have to dictate what we do. https://t.co/IDyotqDd8M — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

Bottom line — To control the spread of #coronavirus, we must control travel. It’s not a question of if it’s done but when it’s done. As the velocity of spread increases, the longer the wait is to return to normal life. https://t.co/4hkGhi6fo5 — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy

If we want to restart our economy, we need to establish coronavirus-immunity registries. Figuring out who is immune to #COVIDー19 will allow us to begin addressing our current medical crisis and start integrating back into normal society again. https://t.co/fY9GL7QDWN — PolitiTweet.org

As we gather more information regarding #COVIDー19, I’ll continue to update my website with all materials that you may find helpful. Here’s a disaster guide to help you and your loved ones during this time. https://t.co/ITrlhYMbYn — PolitiTweet.org
