Masks are vital tools in mitigating COVID transmission, especially in close public spaces such as transit. Masking must remain accessible to everyone.

Banning masks endangers everyone.
Reject mask bans.

Maybe that’s because most people have stopped trying to not get COVID. #MaskUp

Everyone seems to be getting #COVID. https://t.co/kNDW4hCNac

Wow, MN is actually going for ugliest state flag in the country? If not that, certainly the most boring.

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

JUST IN: Minnesota's next state flag will have an abstract shape of its borders with an 8-pointed white North Star on it. A commission tasked with a redesign settled on a final concept, eliminating two others in consideration. It will meet again Tuesday. https://t.co/eUq8JytjyN

What a stupid headline @StarTribune. The same old rules apply- get vaccinated and wear a mask in public indoor settings. Some of us never stopped.

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

It's COVID season. What are the new rules for staying safe? Here's a primer on how to minimize your risk and know when you're in the clear after an exposure.

Quick, someone send a copy of this to @GavinNewsom

HUGE NEWS!

United Nations & World Health Organisation new report stating that the medical model of mental health needs to be overhauled; and that psychiatric diagnosis, labelling & pathologising people who are traumatised, abused, in poverty, & oppressed impacts human rights.

I’ve been turned away from multiple clinics and pharmacies trying to get my one year old his COVID vaccine booster because no one is carrying Moderna. This is the definition of insanity. We are turning people away for stupid fucking reasons.

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

Brought my kiddo to @_HealthPartners today and the vast majority of clinicians and staff were masked despite the lack of a current mandate. Well done folks. I felt respected and safe.

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

@1goodtern @NateB_Panic I love to see some of the smartest people in the world wearing masks in indoor spaces. They don’t give an eff about being photographed in a mask. It’s quite validating.

The preponderance of data that we have supports the declassification, not reclassification, of cannabis in the U.S. Enough with the moral whining and fear mongering people

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

The hospital where I work utilizes sensors in our badges to track hand hygiene adherence. So clearly iatrogenic disease transmission is a priority. Yet there are no masks being worn anywhere.

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

I wear a mask in health care settings because I took the Hippocratic oath AND I believe in the science of viral respiratory disease transmission. Fellow medical folks, please don’t be science deniers and unintentionally do harm.

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

It shouldn’t require a health system mandate for physicians to do the right thing and universally mask in healthcare settings. There is literally no downside to wearing a good quality (not surgical) mask while caring for patients.

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

Why is this not the standard of care?

Well that sure drives home the point. It’s too effing hot for cacti. #ClimateEmergency

[Ian Weissman, DO @DrIanWeissman]

Arizona's saguaro cacti, a symbol of the U.S. West, are leaning, losing arms and in some cases falling over during the state's record streak of extreme heat. #ClimateEmergency

Still fear-mongering about cannabis @StarTribune? Make sure you all wear your helmets on Aug 1. You know, to protect you when the sky totally falls.

I think the lack of “knowledge” in our society goes way beyond jet skiing

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

More Minnesota Jet Ski users are lacking an important skill: knowledge. https://t.co/ZBj5H6ScFk

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

Maybe this means universal masking in healthcare is a pretty good idea?

[T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦 @TRyanGregory]

Positive = positive, however negative could be a false negative, so don't rely on one negative result to make decisions. Swab throat, cheeks, and (then) nose. Test again 48 hrs after negative. Some tests appear to work better than others (e.g., FlowFlex).

https://t.co/qE6uQraMGH

[Jason Ricco @RiccoMD]

There are literally no good reasons we shouldn’t have permanent universal masking in healthcare settings. Since when are doctors actively against preventing disease transmission with little to no downside? There, I said it, come at me. #MasksInHealthcare
