This is Dasia Taylor.
She invented a new type of suture that changes color to show if a wound is infected.
She won the state science fair, became a finalist in a national competition, and now has her sights set on a patent.
She's only 17.
Just trying to wrap my head around how many hours of wall-to-wall coverage we'd see on Fox News if Obama had been president when a bomb destroyed a full city block in the US and he disappeared all weekend to golf and didn't bother to even acknowledge that it happened.
We would like to thank Mrs. Gwen Parker and Cullman Elks Lodge #1609 for their donation of $2500! Thank you, and God bless you in all you do! So proud of our community! @UnitedWayCullCo@javondaniel@CullmanToday
Throwback to 5 years ago when Tony Fauci, at 74 yo, was suiting up to treat an Ebola patient himself because he "wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself". This is what leadership looks like. https://t.co/QctW672ykC
Trump said, “We have a problem that, a month ago, nobody thought about.” But on Dec 29 a 17-year-old from WA launched a site to track the virus. It’s now used by millions. How come a kid knew more than the president?
He didn’t. He just took it seriously. https://t.co/MCLVcU7XeI
"Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
The 1918 Influenza Epidemic lasted over 10 months and came in three waves.

We must be cautious. The war isn’t won yet.
During the current crisis, we need good, free journalism that serves all people, especially those who do not have a voice: journalism that is dedicated to the search for truth and which opens paths toward communion and peace. #WPFD2020
I can’t believe I’m uttering this sentence: #Bstrong is organizing aid to be delivered to the worst hit places in Mississippi, Alabama & other areas in the south where the deadly tornadoes 🌪 ripped through Easter yesterday. Determining whether we take #coronakits there also.
What do we do now?
-More and faster testing
-Be better prepared
-Federal stimulus
When and how we reopen is both a public health and economic question.
We must avoid a second wave of infection.
The 1918 Spanish flu hit in 3 waves.
We are only in the first wave.
We can’t assume that because we are seeing some positive signs this will be over soon or that additional waves won’t hit.
NYS will not underestimate this enemy.
Through centuries of persecution, exile and struggle, the story of Passover has reminded the Jewish people––and all of humanity––of the power to overcome even the greatest of odds. Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to those celebrating with loved ones at home or virtually.
