BILL NYE is still the science show king. And he’s got a mask lesson for you. #MaskUp#COVID19
2) MASKS work. Mask and airborne science compilation video
3) Masks are very effective against droplets and aerosols.
4) VENTILATION is also key. Both ventilation and masks needed to reduce risk indoors. But most buildings not ventilated well enough.
5) we know public health measures like mask mandates work to prevent infections and hospitalizations. But so many leaders ignored the science. That is the greatest tragedy of #COVID19 pandemic.
6) Mask messaging is somehow complicated for some to understand. This is why we can’t just rely govt leaders alone. Hence my team has formed the COVID ACTION GROUP to focus on action advocacy. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

CORRUPT—Nurse was terminated for requesting fresh hospital scrubs instead of being forced to wash dirty scrubs at home. He complained & got fired. He sued @AllinaHealth. Now, state nursing board launches a investigation. Led by who? An ex-Allina executive. medpagetoday.com/nursing/nursin…
2) “He believes the review is due to his standing up for his own safety and that of other nurses, and for filing a lawsuit and union grievance against United's parent company, Allina Health, after his termination.”
3) “He also thinks the investigation, like his firing, has been orchestrated to scare other healthcare workers away from reporting safety violations and concerns as the pandemic rages, and to make an example out of the former union steward.”
MOST WORRISOME—Giuliani testified in Georgia at a very crowded legislative hearing just this Thursday without any mask for more than 15 minutes. Everyone on at least his side of the room may have to quarantine. Maybe even the entire room. #COVID19#RudyGiuliani
