It's so weird to think about now. We were lied to about needing #masks in early 2020 because they were trying to reserve as many as possible for healthcare workers. Now people out here dying for #healthcare workers again because healthcare workers refuse to wear them. #COVID19

Governor Michelle Lujan-Grishim is wearing a mask today. Said she has the flu and doesn't want anyone to catch it.

Does anyone remember those tablets that would turn your teeth blue in areas with plaque? Wouldn't it be great if we could spray or illuminate a room with something like that to show covid floating in the air?

This one is for you, Mom. I’ll bet it is even better from the top side. Rest in peace, you are loved.

I’m surprised more weather people don’t do this. 😂

A FB friend posted this, and these captions also came to mind: "It's a mild sinking", "Only the old and vulnerable will drown". "Don't live in fear, nothing to worry about if you are a good swimmer", "Be positive, there are plenty of lifeboats".

My phone is blowing up with calls and texts from jerks supposedly wanting to buy my mother's house after she passed last month. Ummm...her grieving husband lives there. I'm sure they are calling him too. What is wrong with people?!

This! Very well said by Heath. Hard agree on all points. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1765820…

Thank you Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America for offering a virtual option for the national conference. The first session was very informative for my husband (seropositive MG, Dx in Oct 2023) and me. We look forward to learning more in the upcoming sessions.

The mask on the patient in this picture is literally upside down and therefore largely ineffective against airborne transmission, and the doctor is unmasked. This in a post about long covid. Absolute idiocracy.

It’s a beautiful day to mask up in style. #YallMasking

#YallMasking I took this selfie a while back at Sparky's in Hatch, New Mexico while visiting with my otherworldly friend.

Never in my life have I uttered the words "I don't have to" or "It's not required" in response to a person asking me for a small favor. How is it acceptable for healthcare workers to even utter these words in response to being asked to wear an N95 mask for a few minutes?

To level with some of you: if you're on whatever we might call the "Western left" and you're refusing to take any COVID precautions despite all the evidence for it and all the pleas from our comrades to do so, that makes me question what other harms you're willing to engage in

It's about time!

Covid transmission is so high in New Mexico that about 13% of the population was actively infectious on Dec 14 (latest CDC data), per PMC Case Estimation models. State estimates come with many caveats. However, look at the graph. You can't even see the low category labels.

The classics have a reputation for being a chore to read, but if they didn't spark joy they wouldn't have become classics. Today I bring you ten books that are just pure pleasure:
