STOP REFLEXIVELY TELLING LACTATING PATIENTS TO PUMP AND DUMP.

Holy crap. Actually investigate when it is necessary because it *very rarely is.* Anaesthesia (typically,) CT scans, xrays, mammograms, dental work, most medications - NOT reasons to avoid feeding.

[Sam Ghali, M.D. @EM_RESUS]

The AHA needs to retract their new guidelines asking healthcare workers to perform CPR on known COVID patients without first protecting themselves with PPE

RT if you agree

Colorado has the second highest cases per capita in the country and heading in the wrong direction. Please #getvaccinated #maskup and ask ⁦@GovofCO⁩ for a #maskmandate.

[Justin Morgenstern @First10EM]

Again: Caring for patients is not a right, it is a privilege
If you choose to remain unvaccinated, you lose that privilege

So excited to share my #CovidVaccine selfie; grateful for the vaccine scientists that made this possible; and relieved to help keep my family and community safe when I return from maternity leave in 2 weeks

Health care is a right — not a privilege.

[NPR @NPR]

Researchers analyzed the data from every study on the protective effect of masks.

Their bottom-line estimate: If 95% of people wear cloth masks, it reduces transmission by at least 30%.

With this example, here's what happens over seven 5-day cycles 👇

Wearing a mask is not a political statement.
It's a statement that you care about your community.

It's a concrete action we can take to protect ourselves and protect each other.

PSA: if you’re worried about CO2 accumulation from masks, our climate crisis is going to blow your mind

I’ve never been so happy to live in a state that contains a lot of people with good judgment and common sense.

While we continue to wait for a coherent national plan to navigate this pandemic, states like Massachusetts are beginning to adopt their own public health plans to combat this virus––before it's too late. https://t.co/Eb2Hz8H8vU

This is not a vacation; it’s a pandemic. There are still an alarming number of people traveling to our mountain communities, putting themselves and others at risk. Whether you’re a second homeowner or weekend warrior, please stay home. We NEED to protect our mountain communities.

It’s time.

In a world where millions of children and families live in inhumane conditions, the money that is squandered and the fortunes made through the manufacture, maintenance and sale of ever more destructive weapons, are an affront crying out to heaven.
