I was just denied employment at a Florida school because I said I’d be masking and they said that’s not allowed there. So, in other words, I was discriminated against for wanting to protect myself and children during an airborne pandemic. For shame! @luckytran @joaquinlife

A student in class today was coughing and sneezing and saying he was sick so I sent him to the nurse for a mask. He comes back 2 minutes later saying the nurse said the school doesn’t provide them anymore and to drink water. TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF AN AIRBORNE RESPIRATORY VIRUS!

@DrLeanaWen There is no living with Covid. Comparing it to other viruses & simply chalking it up to “no big deal” is morally wrong, especially when that “no big deal” can turn into heart defects, brain shrinkage, and diabetes. We never heard about anyone testing positive for the flu before.

@DrLeanaWen Worst messaging I’ve ever heard. You should be using your voice to help ensure the public never gets the virus! The more that do, the more it spreads, and the longer the pandemic lasts. I haven’t gotten Covid yet and sure as hell don’t ever intend to - no matter the price.

@DrLeanaWen Maybe because it’s not better? The @CDCgov ’s community transmission map (which is impossible to find on the website) is what individuals should use to gauge individual risk. Only 24% of the country has low transmission rates. Green does NOT mean “go!”
