[Thread] The Minnesota Medical Association, and its 10,000+ physician, resident and medical student members, want to thank @GovTimWalz for his decision to take needed action and further restrict opportunities to gather in large groups at bars and restaurants, and at receptions.

Let’s be clear, physicians are not inflating the number of #COVID19 patients. spr.ly/6008G7ex0
ALT A statement from the AMA saying: "At a time when physicians and other health care professionals are providing care to a record number of COVID-19 patients amidst a third wave, there is misinformation about how patients are counted. Let’s be clear physicians are not inflating the number of COVID-19 patients. Research published in JAMA and in CDC reports indicate the US had significantly more deaths in 2020 than in previous years (excess deaths). Physicians and patients are making remarkable sacrifices and we continue urging all to wear a mask, physical distance and wash your hands to reduce suffering, illness and death."

Nobody seems to pay attention to this stuff anymore but this is the president of the United States tweeting that Osama bin Laden was kept alive in Iran and moved to Pakistan for Obama to have a “trophy kill” (which is obviously false)

you ever wonder if Australian nature documentaries about North America are like "the moose... an enormous and furious horse that will come into your home and trample you to death, jewel of this mysterious continent's terrifying biodiversity"

Churchill’s most famous bit of rhetoric is literally this: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.”

"I'm thrilled to have inspired physicians to get involved in the legislative process, where our voices are both uniquely in demand and highly respected.” Thank you again to our July Advocacy Champion, Senator Matt Klein, MD!

“The way our president is having a conversation about mental health is not helpful,” one doctor said. “You would think he would understand clearly what the test result was and why the test was done and not turn it into a competition about mental health.” nyti.ms/3hvoltE

An epidemiologist, an ICU doctor, and a scientist walk into a bar....
Just kidding.

"For me, being a physician is being concerned not only about the health of my patients while they are in the four walls of my clinic or hospital, but what impacts their health in their community." Nathan Chomilo, MD, FAAP June Advocacy Champion bit.ly/2wX3cHf @ChomiloMD

"Arbeit macht frei" was a false, cynical illusion the SS gave to prisoners of #Auschwitz. Those words became one of the icons of human hatred. It's painful to see this symbol instrumentalized & used again to spread hate. It's a symptom of moral & intellectual degeneration.
