Paid sick leave is an issue of public health.

#LongCovid is a reminder that even mild cases of #COVID19 can have serious, long-term consequences. Be careful not to overdo it with exercise, as it can exacerbate symptoms and prolong recovery. Take care of yourself and listen to your body. #COVID19Recovery

Fuck the people tell YOU to put YOUR body at risk. Are they payin your medical bills? They gonna go to your family and explain what happened? They gonna support your kids and dependents? Are they gonna pay for the casket? No. So fuck em and their little opinions.

It’s absolutely wild to me that we’re pretending that the higher than average number of respiratory tract infections and the pandemic of adults with pneumonia this year is not a warning sign of immune impairment. This is literally how immunodeficiency would present.

I was given subpar treatment by a doctor today because I asked him to wear a mask. Masks are still mandated by law in clinical spaces here, he had cold symptoms, and I am immunodeficient. He didn't even have a mask available to put on, he had to ask the front desk for one.

After logging off for a few days, I must address this tragedy. The state legislature — namely the ‘freedom caucus’ — has bullied and threatened their way into slashing basic healthcare for a small group of LGBTQ youth. This is politics, not medicine. thestate.com/news/politics-…

A New York teacher supports the striking New York nurses: "Teachers have actually been fighting for the same thing that nurses are for… We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by supporting healthcare workers’ actions right now." #NursesStrike #TEACHers #NurseTwitter

The federal free N95 mask distribution program at pharmacies ended months ago. US is in midst of #COVID surge. Please urge the White House and Congress to Mail Free N95 Masks to the Public! Send an email here: actionnetwork.org/letters/freen9… #FreeN95s #BringBackMasks

The GOP Florida legislature is now compiling a list of names and titles of university educators and staff who do work related to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Ron DeSantis wants them rooted out of higher education. That's how things are going in “free” Florida. 👇🏼

If you too are enraged by this cruel and heartless statement by President Donald J. Trump saying that he "stopped thinking" about the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from #COVID19, please contact him and let him and his administration know. whitehouse.gov/contact/

The Montana medical community stands together against SB99, a bill that would criminalize gender affirming care for transgender youth. These decisions should be made by families and their physicians, not legislators. @MTnurses Montana Medical Association #mtleg
