Lazing and loathing, with a twist.

In 1959, Eugene Ionesco wrote the absurdist play Rhinoceros in which one by one, an entire town of people suddenly transform into rhinos. At first, people are horrified but as the contagion spreads, (almost) everyone comes to accept that turning into a rhinoceros is fine. 1/

Anyone else feel like we could, oh, I don’t know, use some of that $9.3 billion surplus to address some of the issues that are provoking so many teachers and school staff to vote to strike? Maybe? #mnleg

AMA president says he’ll continue masking indoors regardless of CDC’s updated guidance and recommends others do the same to protect those at higher risk:

Best thread I’ve read critiquing the details of new CDC guidance on “community levels.”

[Hannah Lichtsinn, MD @DoctorLix]

The new @CDCgov mask guidelines tell people to check with their doctor to see if masks are recommended.

Yes. The answer is yes. Don’t waste your co-pay (health care should be free.) Wear a mask. Tweets not medical advice except for right now. Wear a mask.

@monster_manager @SenatorBigBird "Oscar, what is Big Bird's message to those who oppose vaccines?" "SCRAM!"

@marqualler I will never forget then we saw The Hobbit in the theater and you left midway through to go to the concession stand, came back and said, “what did I miss? 20 more minutes of camping?” I sometimes just think about that and have a good, intense laff.

Students return March 15. At my school, less than 25% have opted to return to in-person learning.

Please stop with the “families and kids want to return”—when people say this they mean, white families.

The desire to return It isn’t across demographics.

[Jerksica @jerksicamn]

Many of us are grieving loss of the ability to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities as schools reopen without adequate mitigation measures recommended by the CDC or vaccine availability. 2/4

@sarCCastro I'd watch most anything w/ a monkey doc. Except Two Broke Girls. And Doctor Quinn: Medicine Wom-no! DQMW would rule w/ a monkey.
