'Trust me, I hate this as much as you. You can ask the scab on the bridge of my nose from where my N95 has rubbed my skin raw. If I can put up with that, you can wear a surgical or cloth mask to go to Costco.'

My message is unchanged. I am pleading with the people of Arizona to stay home, and if you have to go out, socially distance and wear a mask. However, this time I am sharing my message with the hope of preventing myself from having to tell a patient that, because their calculated score was higher than someone else's, the best I can offer them is comfort care.

First and foremost, I would encourage people to think about their sources of information. The health care professionals, epidemiologists and public health experts have a unified goal to minimize the spread of the virus to save lives. There is no agenda or malicious intent. The goal is to save lives. Epidemiologists don't pretend to be experts on politics, commerce or governance.

What's up, Doc?

I'm starting to think the masks have nothing to do with a virus. It will never be enough. Someone will always have a sickness that can be transmitted. There will always be justification for this and more.

“ScAmDeMic”So every healthcare professional, person with covid, & the people who’ve lost someone to Covid-19 are conspiring together? 😂😂😂

Please wear a mask today, and please vote Trump out of office tomorrow! RepublicansAgainstTrump

I know this sounds crazy, but I got it back in May AND SURVIVED. Crazy how that 99% survival rate doesn’t make the headlines. Unnecessary paranoia

🐑🖕

Scamdemic

Yes please wear a mask 😷

No problems here, right?

They won’t be alive to hear it

That's not how it works...

' China is not an economic threat to the U.S.' O'Biden

Congrats on finding that guy

we have had enough scare tactics already

Pay me Now, or Pay me Later

🖕🏻wearing a 😷. I’m proud to be pro choice from conception to death. If your immune system is compromised, wear a mask so YOU are protected or stay home. I’m not responsible for your health.

All you do is spread Lies

He must have a lot of dead patients.

you will be if you wear the mask! that doctor should be fired

Shitty virtue signaling

Psycho Doctors Say: 'Please wear this mask now. I’d rather not tell you something worse later, like please wear used depends underwear.'

Follow the 💰

Arizonans wear a mask? Impossible!

Am so sorry to see this is even negotiable amid such dangerous period

BuT CoRoNaViRuS iS a HoAx

Also why don’t you guys talk about the positive side about it it’s always about who’s dying of Covid why not talk about who’s surviving it instead of all this negative news

I live in Az and have to work .A single mom of two can’t afford to not work because if I don’t know one buys food or pay bills

CHINESE VIRUS

CHINESE VIRUS

Luvley330 Moleskin - learned that at military training

Shut up

Dr doesn't have the common sense to use adhesive tape or a bandaid to prevent this? Really?

Get bent

How often in human history has this been a good line?: “I know this sucks, but just follow along and we’ll be okay.”

Chinese Virus man made

raywilton4 Sorry, don't know creator to attribute

He has time to record social media postings during work? Can't be that bad then...

Andddd people still don't.

N95 will stop 95% of particles larger than .5 microns. A cloth mask will stop a bacteria larger than 6 microns. The Covid19 virus is .1 microns in size. N95 is great for stopping bacterial infections. A virus? Not so much. Cloth mask is just as good as my handkerchief.

No thanks. Coronavirus is a HOAX!

Or just stop protesting, rioting, vandalizing and looting for 2 weeks.

TallyAnnaE We can't get surgical masks btw.

And now this doctor has to worry about catching an additional infection with a wound to his face. 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

If you don’t like wearing a mask you’re going to hate being ventilated.

There are way too many pussies out there

Do you know what they call the guy who graduated last in his class at medical school...that’s right Doctor.!!

Still no national plan. But at least Donald Trump is focused on throwing out opening pitches.

Until a vaccine is found, wearing a mask is just about the only effective method to stop spreading the Corona virus. Please wear a mask

I fight for America, not some curpted organization like BLM, we are United Americans, to the Declaration of Independence, America! realDonaldTrump GavinNewsom Civil War is here, & I am ready to go to Seattle

Dude, try a bandaid on that nose.

I'm wearing a space helmet, so you ain't got sh*t on me.

This is the reason surgeons aren't doing surgeries anymore, and another reason why I wouldn't trust them to be anywhere near me. Imagine this trying to give you an epidural into the spine? No way in hell.

Thank you for all you do Dr. Bikowski, and thank you to all the essential workers out there.....some of us in North Dakota wear our masks proudly.....most unfortunatly do not....

Wow

Chinese Virus-

THANK YOU ! Just argued w/ 2 Let’s say not the sharpest tools in the shed & his & her reply ... It’s my right & Trump Rules I laughed & said GOOD LUCK W/ BOTH ! Btw here in AZ

I just don't get why they care if you die from COVID in the first place. I mean if a person can't afford their medication people are ok with dying. Until that's fixed I won't care about COVID

You do it in return for $$$

I'll just leave this here...

Multiple CDC studies found masks to be ineffective against COVID-19: Add to that the fact that, here in America, no government official has the authority to MANDATE that 'We the People' wear masks. 🇺🇸 So, that's a hard pass for me! 😎

Wearing a mask and social distancing works! Why you wouldn’t do to prevent you and your friends and family from getting the virus just says you are STUPID!! So just so you know PEOPLE WHO DON’T WEAR MASK IN PUBLIC HAVE “I AM STUPID” on their backs😂😂😂

Too many COVID deniers that will not take it serious,tough nut to crack.

Bah-hahahahaha

Wear a mask; stay 6 feet away from others. Doing just these two things could save lives, possibly yours too.

nomasks

Didn't Saint Fauci say masks don't help?

whats sad is no one considering the fact that we know these doctors are lying and playing politics with our healthcare. doesn't that undermine trust in doctors?

To use the same absurd word... if you are whining about a piece of cloth being over your face for a short period of time then you are a 'snowflake'. Sac up and put the dam piece of cloth on your face so you can at least say you tried instead of throwing a temper tantrum

Yes masks need to be worn BUT there are many cases of death that were not from covid19. Guy in Florida HAD IT BUT RECOVERED and was killed in a motorcycle accident and they listed cause of death as covid19. Something is fishy!

Doctors like this are paid by the same government authorities who are responsible for disseminating inflated COVID-19 stats. Why would any reasonable person trust them?

Show me the study that masks work...and if they do why aren’t they on prisoners and why can’t we see our elders with them on?

Nah too many idiots with no education say you’re wrong

Just saying......

Anyone not wearing a mask is a MORON.

ouch
