Had an echocardiogram this morning. I was masked, as was the echo tech. She had the sniffles/ was clearing her throat throat.
Several points:
1) She ideally should’ve stayed home from work - but in the real world, that’s not always a choice for people. This further underscores the need for masking in healthcare settings when respiratory diseases are circulating.
2) I was all the more appreciative for the double masking in close quarters. It isn’t just about the vulnerable protecting themselves. It takes two to make a thing go right.
3) Did she have Covid? It actually doesn’t matter. Regardless it was likely some sort of virus that I especially don’t want to get before Christmas. And remember – I was there for an echocardiogram. The consequences of an infection transmitted in a healthcare setting are MUCH higher.
4) This isn’t just about protecting me. I could’ve been asymptomatic and transmitted something to her and/ or the other patients she was caring for today.
Moral of the story? Whether you believe in “mandates” or not masking up in healthcare facilities when respiratory viruses are circulating is just plain good sense and good care. 😷👍🏽

Well that blew up and may lead to change
Let’s try again.
There are more children who die per day from #SickleCellDisease than #HIV but no funding or recognition that SCD is a global health problem.
What say you @BillGates @gatesfoundation @WHO ?
Boss Doctors retweeted
A child with #SickleCellDisease is not eligible for @MakeAWish unless certain criteria are met
For #cysticfibrosis a diagnosis alone is sufficient
Both are life-threatening w/ significant impact on quality of life
The difference is race(ism)
@MakeAWish How do we change this?

A child with sickle cell disease is born across the world EVERY TWO MINUTES. Most die without a diagnosis in the first years of life. Sickle cell belongs among HIV, TB, Malaria as critical global health problems. #SickleCellAwarenessMonth

I want to commend @POTUS and @VP on the #AmericanFamiliesPlan and a successful first 100 days.
Together, the #AmericanRescuePlan, #AmericanJobsPlan, and #AmericanFamiliesPlan will make transformative investments in Birmingham families, neighborhoods, and small businesses.
