Check out a new interview with me for The Guardian where I talk about becoming a MacArthur Fellow and my thoughts on the upcoming Administration. Many thanks to Maanvi Singh for interviewing me!

Do you think you've had long-term GI problems since having Covid?

We are performing a study examining the characteristics of viruses, specifically persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections, in stool samples.

Nassau County, NY just signed off on a mask ban law that is effective immediately.

It's critical to know your rights! Here's a great resource from @NYCLU clarifying what the law is, and what rights you have:

[ACT UP NY @actupny]

🧵THREAD: ACT UP NY firmly stands against any legislative action banning masks, including State Assembly bill A10057, State Senate bill S9687, & any as-of-yet proposals. Proponents of these bills say immunocompromised people shouldn't be gathering in large crowds at a protest.

[Jessica González-Rojas (votejgr.bsky.social) @votejgr]

100!

Corona, which I represent was the epicenter of the epicenter of COVID-19. We can't just forget that and medically vulnerable communities nor the way in which a mask ban can be a pretext for racist and anti-LGBTQ discrimination by law enforcement.

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

@votejgr Thank you @votejgr! For not only speaking up for public health but also calling out the additional discriminatory consequences of mask bans.

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

Thank you @tiffany_caban! Adding that along with immunocompromised folks, public transportation access as well as the 1st Amendment right to protest must not be denied to people who simply want to protect their health and the health of others by masking.

[Tiffany Cabán @tiffany_caban]

Instituting a mask ban means denying immunocompromised folks access to a critical public good-public transportation.

There’s so many other proven strategies for reducing hate based violence in our city w/o discriminating against & endangering a medically vulnerable population.

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

This is the response to the threatened NY mask bans we most need NY elected officials amplifying by publicly wearing masks themselves. Masking isn't only to protect our own health but just as importantly to protect the health of each other in our communities.

[Justine @JustineKirby]

@myrabatchelder I have no underlying health issues, but I don’t want to create any for me or anyone else. Or be sick in the short term. And specifying acceptable masks doesn’t work: my elastomeric masks will remain suspect.

[Vafa Tabatabaie, MD 🦴🥼🐈🐈‍⬛ @Vafata]

The only way we’ll ride the subway: #masked. @GovKathyHochul @NYCMayor - arrest me! You’ll have to explain to my patients that I’m in jail because I want to protect them/myself.

[Vafa Tabatabaie, MD 🦴🥼🐈🐈‍⬛ @Vafata]

@GovKathyHochul By even mentioning the possibility of banning masks, YOU put all New Yorkers at risk. You have forever lost my vote, and that of many other vulnerable patients and healthcare workers.

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

Thanks to @nycHealthy for this message of inclusivity and taking care of each other!

[nychealthy @nycHealthy]

COVID-19 cases are increasing in NYC, and flu and RSV are still spreading. Wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings can help protect you and protect others if you’re sick. A high quality mask, such as an N95, KN95 or KF94, provides the best protection: https://t.co/ipstVkZCOu

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

So grateful to @MontefioreNYC for prioritizing the health of visitors, staff, and patients. Your leadership makes the entire NYC community safer!

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Montefiore is requiring masks for all visitors, staff, and patients in public areas and clinical areas.

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

@nycHealthy Thank you @nycHealthy! Such an important message of how to help protect ourselves and "also protect others". With guidance for specific types of effective "high-quality" masks!

[Andrew, PhD, MPH, CPH @AWangMPH]

Still masking and not indoor dining. For many, know you are not alone on this.

[Greg Kitzman @GregKitzman]

No need for 18 mos. of study. World's leading experts have done it for you. Save time & tax payer $ & just implement ASHRAE 241. Start w/ info from @joeyfox85 & @WBahnfleth below & then get it done asap!

New NYC indoor air quality legislation on the horizon. BP Levine and CM @KeithPowersNYC lead the charge for standards and monitoring in schools, municipal buildings, and more, amidst COVID-19 and wildfire smoke concerns.https://t.co/sc0YG7bk3v

@DaliaHasanMD Rounding today, mask on everyday!
