@etirado123 @FOXLA The report says "sudden cardiac dysfunction due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease". Here is what arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease is - a common example is plaque buildup in the arteries from cholesterol.
@NPR We are seeing an increase in influenza in the Southern Hemisphere, which tends to be how we judge what will happen here. Before COVID we advised that handwashing, cough etiquette, and distancing could prevent the spread of the flu and we saw that happen with COVID practices.
@Mazzola___ @NPR Influenza was still circulating, but the mitigation efforts that we preached before COVID, and practiced during COVID, are effective against flu. Preventing the spread of droplets, hand washing, social distancing are all effective at mitigating spread of flu.
@CifJamestown @DorkSpaceNine @NPR Jamestown, that is incorrect. The mitigation efforts certainly helped the curb the spread of COVID, but the virus that causes COVID is ateast 3x more infectious than influenza and it was a novel virus. No surprise that the flu was easier to prevent with the same efforts.
NOW is the time for heightened awareness to be on the lookout for cases of acute flaccid myelitis in patients presenting with weakness: reports of widespread enterovirus D68 circulation across the US + Europe, and polio recently detected in NY and UK.

Happy Monday! In healthcare, since we are a 24/7 gig, Monday can sometimes feel like just another day, but other times we can all have "a case of the Mondays". No matter what Monday feels like or means to you, this is a reminder that you got this! #NUrseTwitter#MondayMotivation
But we need people to teach and as with many other Educators, Nurse Educators are grossly underpaid compared to ADN/BSN. BLS shows the MSN Educator median is $77,440, BSN median is $77,600. If you want MSNs, pay them! #NurseTwitter
