On a night when the vast majority of American counties swung toward Trump from their 2020 returns, a majority (34 of 64) Colorado counties swung in the other direction. #copolitics

Here’s a story from a first-time voter that’s worth a read.

Ayah, thank you for not only making your voice heard, but for encouraging your peers to do the same. You’re the ones who give me hope. https://t.co/GLIYZAKmCL

wow, did not fully comprehend how much Rihanna was the soundtrack of my high school/college life until that performance. 😭😭😭

My Indian mother upon telling her I have COVID - “well, maybe now you’ll have time to start planning your wedding” 🤦🏾‍♀️

I’m fairly confident that if left to navigate to the gate for a Denver-bound flight from most airports, I would be able to successfully do so based on passengers alone (no signage).

If you were given a coin flip at birth that would either mean you were born into extreme wealth or extreme poverty…

…which country would you choose to live in (assuming you must stay there) without knowing the outcome of the flip?

We'll be sharing another update later early this evening, but in the meantime, for anyone in the areas surrounding the Zoo who may be curious or have concerns -

The New York Times, Washington Post, New Yorker, Atlantic, etc need to hire actual public health editors and writers. Your science and medicine staff aren’t suitable for public health coverage. These are not interchangeable areas of expertise.

[Aaron Carr @aaronAcarr]

The way the real world works is that if you build enough housing and affordable/supportive housing, more people will be housed.

This is how Atlanta was able to reduce homelessness by 40%, Houston by 63%, Finland by 75%, and Tokyo by 80%.

Once I went home for the weekend and returned with a solar panel backpack, courtesy of my father.

[kelly cooper @kellyccooper]

I love coming home because my parents pamper me. For instance my dad just gave me a military grade flashlight that I don’t want

I know we’re all talking about it, but I left my office in Denver to 50 degrees and sunny, got home to Fort Collins and it was 1 degree and blizzarding.

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

Preliminary data at DIA shows the observed 37F temperature drop in 1 hour (42 to 5F) would be the biggest one hour drop in that ASOS history. #COwx

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

This is so oddly unhelpful every time I look at it I laugh all over again

[CPR News @CPRNews]

In response to long wait times at other local clinics, Kaiser Permanente will begin offering abortion services to its patients. https://t.co/exb81LNL5A

Had a great time at #HIHC22 yesterday! And pleased to report my high tech foolproof method of not losing my notes was successful.

[Karam Ahmad 📈 @CHI_Karam]

@COHealthInst’s @SumanMathur is facilitating an important discussion on the intersection of social justice and behavioral health with Drs. Morgan Medlock, Commissioner, Behavioral Health Administration, and Lesley Brooks, Chief of Addiction Medicine @SummitStoneHlth #HIHC22

[Karam Ahmad 📈 @CHI_Karam]

Earlier today at #HIHC22 we asked our audience what they value most that climate change threatens. Here is a word cloud that captures those things. You'll see family, community, nature, health, and home, made the top of the list. #cohealth #climatechange

[Suman Mathur @SumanMathur]

Excited to join for my first ever Hot Issues in Health! #HIHC22

[Allie Morgan @Allie_CALPHO]

Good morning from the Hilton Denver Inverness! We’re so excited to get Hot Issues in Health started in just 45 minutes. #HIHC22

Fort Collins needs more affordable housing, and the city's new Land Development Code is a positive step in that direction. Let's move forward, not preserve inequitable policies. https://t.co/QSHjh9GnS1

[Jeni James Arndt, Mayor @jenijamesarndt]

Would you like to learn how the new land development code works? The city of FoCo is holding an info session. The new code helps make possible our climate goals, our 15 minute city goals—moving us into a more sustainable future. Please come and get the facts.
