#MN earns its name #minnesnowta. Nothing like our magical winter when our kids are always sick and driving through freezing cold and snow to the clinic is a nightmare. Not anymore...#LXMedical will bring Urgent Care straight to your home! Visit us at https://t.co/902JuvxWoY

@chrislhayes Cost of monoclonal not true

@MNDarkClouds Don’t pretend to care anymore Dark Clouds. Home crowd will find a way to move on from volunteer cheering. We are all realizing, like parents with kids in daycare, that we can’t rely on you anymore. We will figure it out without you. And you really fucked us tonight. Thanks.

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@RedLoons @MNUFC The game today. 0 home field advantage. You’re fighting a fight that you don’t understand. Unless you’re receiving info from Mayo Clinic, all you’re doing is flexing a muscle that makes no impact on ticket sales, but does impact our beloved loons chance of making the playoffs!

#memorialdayweekend2020 signals the start of summer, and maybe more importantly, lake time and bbqs!

#LXMedical hopes we're not needed, but if injuries/illness interrupt your holiday, we can come straight to you and take care of any member of the family

Coronavirus In Minnesota: Eagan Couple Administers In-Home COVID-19 Anti-Body Tests https://t.co/a6N2Lv09Le

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@ItsTheBrandi @BioMedomics For one of our skilled providers to come to your home and administer the test and give medical advice on how to proceed is $79, for any additional tests in the home it’s $39. If a full in-home medical evaluation needs to be performed with a COVID 19 screen, the price is $139

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@sacrelicio @cleverkate And at our core, we are an in home urgent care service, and a lot of people need help in our Twin Cities community who no longer have good access to healthcare. We’re just trying to do our part to help and improve delivery/access to healthcare.

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@cleverkate our Minneapolis startup company is making sure our community has phenomenal access to healthcare during this pandemic! In-home urgent care and in-home covid 19 testing! Spread the word, we are going to do everything we can for #minnesota

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@sacrelicio @cleverkate We urge everyone with questions to check out BioMedomics for themselves. They are a real company and trying to create real tests to help get more information and data regarding COVID 19. These antibody tests will be important throughout the next weeks and months.

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@ItsTheBrandi We have 1000 tests. Certainly not a scam. We’re an in home urgent care team trying to bring care to people who don’t have access to healthcare right now. Antibody tests will be key in this pandemic. @BioMedomics is credible. We urge people to check them out for themselves!

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@KerriMPR #CoronaVirusUpdate Our team at LX Medical is doing everything we can to let the greater Twin Cities area know that our in-home urgent care service is up and running, and we are utilizing rapid covid 19 tests to get as much information to our community as we can!

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

#LXMedical has been up and running 4 a week now, thanks to everyone in the #Minneapolis area who has supported our start up. We have our #coronavirus rapid tests, and our team is ready to test as many community members as we can! Hang in there everyone! https://t.co/jbEK3zSnIh

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

Thanks so much! We are moving fast, trying to mobilize an idea that puts rapid test kits in our medical bags and get into people’s homes/businesses to start getting information and data and better care in the community. We will do everything we can. Hang in there!

[HipHop 👑 @HipHopVikingGuy]

@JTRIGGEN just wanted to say thank you for what you are doing for our communities. Your team are real super heroes.

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

We’ve got our test kits from @BioMedomics on the way and hope to bring the fight into our community with better tools then what anyone is using in this country. We need data so badly right now, this could be the solution! #LXMedical

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

Important tweet. Thanks @WRALTechWire our small medical company is watching this very closely in the #minneapolis area. This is the kind of innovation we need, and we hope to utilize it with our in-home urgent care med model. 👍🏻👍🏻

RTP-based BioMedomics seeks FDA OK for coronavirus test to meet backlog #WRALTechWire https://t.co/3p8Nz5i8WA

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

Super exciting! Our Medical Company has been following these guys for weeks, we have a 1000 test kits coming any day and can’t wait to get out in our community to start utilizing. The answer to this crisis will be through innovation and creation and were gunna try to do our part

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

No, the world's not closed. Part of it is busy coming up with better #COVID19 diagnostic and serologic testing. Nice summary @TheEconomist https://t.co/zKdzRIxsBs The serologic one from @BioMedomics looks interesting (fingerstick, 15 mins)

LATEST UPDATES: you can click the red bar at the top of https://t.co/4CKmzHYJvk for bullet point updates on #COVID19 (we were getting these internally and I thought you’d find them useful)

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

@ryanol @DeRushaJ Correct. Have to shut them down for the good of the long game. Gotta problem solve what the next week looks like for healthcare staffing too, otherwise those already sick in the hospital take an unacceptable drop in quality of care. Crisis thinking needs to be 3D, never 1D.

[James Riggen @JTRIGGEN]

I totally get it. There is a lot of upside to this. One interesting complication is something like 30% (conservative) of all healthcare employees RELY on school to be able to work. We are about to see a large reduction in available healthcare staff. Yikes.
