The medical supply chain remains broken. People who need masks, gowns and eye protection cannot get them. Call your Senators to demand their support of the HEROES Act! @getusppe @AmplifyThisNow @choo_ek @meganranney @EmmyBetz @JananiRavMD @jeremyfaust @RealCedricDark @darakass

This and so much more. Bodily autonomy is no place for the government. Furthermore medical decision making is a collaboration between people and their medical providers - not the government.

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

Please join us tonight as we honor our communities’ losses. There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel that has been lit by the hard working scientists who creates the vaccines, but tonight we save space for those for whom it came too late. #vigil4covidvictims

My family will be joining the vigil tonight honoring those who died from #COVID19. We will be lighting candles and spending time in silence. If we spent 1 sec honoring each of the 400k people who died in the US, that would be more than 6700 min, 111 hr, or 4.6 days. #vigil

“The election wasn’t rigged. I was wrong to imply it was. This has gotten out of hand. I didn’t sign up for an armed insurrection. I swore an oath to the Constitution, and I let the moment blind me and imperil democracy itself. I am sorry.” - Actually no one has said this yet.

I’m old enough to remember when a Black woman who was having a mental health crisis breached the barriers with her car at The Capitol and the Capitol police promptly shot and killed her w/ her 13-month old baby in the car.

Excellent graphic detailing what we can expect if we do not change our behaviors as we move into winter. Historically, the more common cororaviruses are at a low in Oct. Cases climb in Nov/Dec before reaching a plateau in Jan/Feb followed by a slow decrease. Rethink #Quarantine
Michael Mina@michaelmina_lab

Winter is coming! If we do not get this virus under control now, we are in for a perfect and terrible storm We are not taking the expected seasonality of this SEASONAL virus seriously! Instead, we've assumed our efforts are responsible for decreased cases this summer... 1/x

@KariHamerschlag @DBelardoMD Can you include a link to this meta-analysis? It’s worth further discussion. As @DBelardoMD pointed out, we cannot discount the greater monetary expense of organic food, which is not captured in studies examining pesticides and comparative nutrition. Also vegan.

@DBelardoMD Organic Food is More Nutritious. A meta-analysis of 343 studies found “meaningful differences in nutrient composition between organic and non-organic crops,” including higher levels of cancer fighting antioxidants, phenolic acids and flavanones.

Can someone tell me why vegans constantly push the narrative that eating organic is the only way to eat? It’s: Incorrect Data shows it’s not superior to conventional Is less affordable May even be worse for the environment Just out here looking for some sane vegans...anyone?

“HCWs in the ED (31.64%) were more likely to contract COVID-19 compared with HCWs in the ICU (23.17%) and inpatient settings (25.53%).” All very high rates and very important statistics for understanding how we can improve our protections of frontline workers. @getusppe
Tsion Firew, MD, MPH@DrTsion

Thank you all who completed/helped disseminate our survey on health care workers’ infection & mental health. Our findings concluded that 29% of healthcare workers of 2K+ respondents contracted COVID, higher infection rate those working in pre-hospital, ICUs & EM Department. 1/2

The media is referring to last night’s VP debate as “civilized”, a term rooted in colonizer ideology. Even though there was no yelling or bullying, Pence lied, evaded. gaslighted and interrupted throughout the entire debate. His behavior was violent towards Harris in its own way.

Blessed to have a platform I can use to speak the truths in my heart. So many scholars before me have informed my thinking and I’m so grateful for their work which informs mine everyday.✊🏾💛 Thank you again for having me @ChelseaClinton, looking forward to continuing the work!

This is exactly right. It’s not pandemic fatigue, but rather frustration because it doesn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to be this way.

What Trump’s tweet actually says: 1. Based on past behavior he won’t be isolating. 2. He is not afraid of COVID because he has a personal doctor & free access to one of the best hospitals in the world. 3. Dexamethasone makes him feel awesome! Now how about #UniversalHealthCare??
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

This is where cigarette smoke analogy is perfect. Picture Trump exhaling smoke for 1.5 hours in a closed room. Do you think @JoeBiden would have smelled it? 6 ft does not work indoors-hopefully room had excellent ventilation and the air draft was blowing away from Biden. (2/end)
