Two years ago today, HPR hit the open road with stationary bikes! Great team-building. Great exercise. Great time. Thanks again, @BikeBusBoston! #ThrowbackThursday#TBT
Tomorrow, the #COVID19 emergency order in Mass. making face coverings mandatory in public begins.
Let’s be clear, face coverings help prevent the spread of the #coronavirus and they defend you. By wearing one, you’re helping us to #FlattenTheCurve https://t.co/YPyqnpubqE
Our healthcare workers and frontline responders are working every day to protect and save lives. Do your part: wear a face covering whenever you leave home, even if you’re going on a run or bike ride. This is an important way to keep yourself and others safe.
You are worth it. If you need someone to talk to, call 311 to be connected to anonymous counseling over the phone. If you are having suicidal thoughts, please call or text @samaritans at 877-870-4673.
Immigrants are part of our community, and vital to our #COVID19 response efforts and our economy. We'll continue to protect you during and beyond this public health emergency. As a reminder, you won’t be asked for your immigration status at meal sites or when accessing testing.

This Patriots’ Day all runners and spectators must do their part in preventing the spread of #coronavirus by staying home. Do not run or stand along the Boston Marathon course. We’ll be back out there as soon as it’s safe.

#Stayhome for your parents, grandparents, friends, siblings, children, neighbors, first responders, healthcare workers, fellow Bostonians and for yourself. When we’re all in this together, we’ll be able to stop the spread, and be with one another sooner.
I want to thank all of our grocery store workers for your hard work during this difficult time. You provide a critical service so when you hear your elected officials thanking heroes on the front lines, know that we are talking about you, too. Boston appreciates and supports you.
This is a moment when we need people’s attention.
We need you to know and share this information.
And we need to act on it, together, as one city, right now and in the days ahead.
I want anyone who’s experiencing homelessness right now to know: the City is here to help. Boston is a caring community, and we will not leave anyone behind, ever.

THREAD: I mostly talk about movies on here, but here goes. We are currently pivoting our factory to solely make surgical masks and other medical garments in short supply. We can make 2 million masks a day, and are looking to help in any way possible during this time. #COVID19
Remember to practice #socialdistancing by standing 6+ feet apart from each other even in places that can get easily get too crowded like the grocery store.
By taking these necessary precautions now, we will save lives.
