Thanks to @healthfunding & @CDCFound for sponsoring the first Public Health Academy series where Capitol Hill staff learned to be disease detectives! This important event educated policymakers on the critical role of Public Health workers in keeping Americans safe and healthy.

@Chilis Currently watching the recorded reunion. Definitely would love some #chilis to make up for last night.

Some colleagues contributed to this report. Important work to understanding mpox.

[CDC @CDCgov]

New @CDCMMWR report shows continued racial & ethnic disparities in #mpox cases, especially among Black & Hispanic men. To prevent future mpox outbreaks, it’s important to make vaccines easier to access for those at greatest risk for mpox.

@Theonlyhonest @CapitalOne They’re probably busy with all the Taylor Swift giveaways. Hope it’s resolved appropriately.

Important part of this story is that teens identified a potential threat and reported it appropriately. With how many school shootings we’ve seen, we all need to pay attention. We also need better gun control. https://t.co/yGm21huyX2

Rebekah Jones has claimed that her son was the target of a politically-motivated arrest at the hands of Ron DeSantis. The police report and the evidence suggest that he made multiple credible threats to shoot up his former school:

It is rare but good to remember to take precautions when swimming in fresh water. Also use distilled water for nasal rinses.

Setting the record straight:

Infection with Naegleria fowleri is  EXTREMELY RARE and can only happen when water contaminated with amoebae enters the body through the nose. You CANNOT be infected by drinking tap water. https://t.co/Arp2m5aaQz

@parker_maps I haven’t played it since "Before COVID (BC)” but I imagine it is weird now.

[CDC @CDCgov]

People still talk about how there was COVID data suppression and falsification in FL due to one person’s claim from almost three years ago. Its important to realize that person wasn’t even an epidemiologist.

Washing your hands for 20 seconds (about the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice) not only keeps your hands clean but also helps prevent the spread of common viruses like colds and the flu.
