The AHA, American Medical Association and American Nurses Association today urged the Trump administration to share all critical information related to COVID-19 with the Biden transition team.

“Confronting the challenges of the pandemic is imperative to saving American lives,” they said in a letter to President Trump. “Real-time data and information on the supply of therapeutics, testing supplies, personal protective equipment, ventilators, hospital bed capacity and workforce availability to plan for further deployment of the nation’s assets needs to be shared to save countless lives. All information about the capacity of the Strategic National Stockpile, the assets from Operation Warp Speed, and plans for dissemination of therapeutics and vaccines needs to be shared as quickly as possible to ensure that there is continuity in strategic planning so that there is no lapse in our ability to care for patients.”
