1627075329444696066 | @andrea_s_bitar @ShikhaJainMD People don’t wash their hands well enough. But we don’t have a movement of people saying handwashing is bad because it “doesn’t work” and it’s tyranny. So yes it’s only as good as community adoption, but we don’t give up the measure just because the community sucks at it right? | 5 |

1627312892017254400 | @ShikhaJainMD There’s an anti mask agenda. They work. We’ve been wearing them out west in fire season for decades and even to exercise outdoors in high pollen season. I find these studies that “prove” they don’t work frustrating. | 2 |

1626960371092185088 | @ShikhaJainMD @PeteL1973 There is a general theory that things work better if used as intended. | 26 |
1627095264074022917 | @andrea_s_bitar @ShikhaJainMD On the contrary, there are times I see men leaving the men’s room after taking a # 2 and not washing their hands, and I call them out on it. And I do think it demonstrates a basic lack of respect for others to walk around touching common objects with poop residue on your hands. | 23 |
1627086847406120960 | @andrea_s_bitar @ShikhaJainMD The false propaganda that masks “don’t work” is part of the reason they didn’t work so well at the community level. People decided not to wear them based on misinformation. | 21 |

1627144078835032065 | @ShikhaJainMD And please wear the correct masks that have been proven to be most effective. (This is a message for all my Healthcare workers who are still wearing the blue surgical masks.) | 17 |
1626993547705479168 | @ShikhaJainMD I was at a doc appt this week and it was the first time I noticed what seemed to be a more deliberate shift in masking (in waiting area). There's always been the under the nose drift... but there were people w them under their chin - for the entire time (I was there for hours.) | 15 |
