It's simple: the more we wear masks around others, the less Covid spreads.

"New modeling projects that the coronavirus death toll in the U.S. will exceed 200,000 by November, but more than 45,000 lives could be saved if the vast majority of people wore masks in public." usnews.com/news/national-…

Must read from four past CDC directors in GOP and Dem administrations. "We cannot recall over our collective tenure a single time when political pressure led to a change in the interpretation of scientific evidence." washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

It’s a rather straight line that is drawn for this type of racist ‘scholarship’ to blaming our patients (especially poor pts or black/brown pts) for poor health outcomes. It’s a comfortable view b/c it doesn’t implicate the systems we let remain in place. Indifference is not ok.

What an honor to teach in the BIDMC Department of Surgery Virtual Surgery Rotation for Underrepresented in Medicine (UiM) MS-4's led by my colleague Stephen Odom. Chatted with some talented and motivated future surgeons about respiratory failure and ventilator modes. #GenSurgMatch2021

What happened in Buffalo was terrorism — and we must all reject the lies and the hatred that fueled it.

May 24: Uvalde, Texas May 14: Buffalo The massacre in Uvalde, in which 14 children and a teacher were killed, was the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. this year. It happened just 10 days after 10 people were killed in a Buffalo supermarket. nyti.ms/3wQB7MR

These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world. Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it? It’s time to turn this pain into action.

It’s just unreal. We don’t have to accept this. Freedom doesn’t mean there are no rules whatsoever! We are free to buy all the other stuff this kid tried to buy, but reasonable laws prevented him from doing so.

BREAKING:: One of the doctors killed by a gunman at a medical clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma has ties to Boston. boston25news.com/news/local/doc…

The shooter purchased an AR-15 style rifle 'hours before the attack.' Can't help but think that we need a mandatory waiting period. #EndGunViolenceNow
