All the smooth transitions hospitals are advocating any maternity patient not comfortable birthing alone "reach out to the community" to investigate the possibility of out-of-hospital birth. Effectively, everyone but Swedish is saying "we think our 94% marketshare belongs in a 6% place." We've heard Prov Everett isn't necessarily locking down to the "separate COVID-19 moms from their babies for 14 days" CDC recommendation but they haven't ruled it out. We've gone from "holy shit we had six client interviews this week woo hoo" to "holy shit we had six client interviews today..." and I've started discussions with the landlord about renting additional office space upstairs so we can separate our peds from our maternity.

We're about to buy a Butterfly IQ and get someone to locum for us so that we don't have to bump our moms out anywhere for basic ultrasound.

We've got six boxes of masks.

On the plus side, Frontline came to visit and it looks like Seattle is doing substantially better than NY, but you never know:

Trump took our hospital ship because someone reminded him that Jay Inslee criticized him on Twitter.
