East HS has been placed into a Lockdown due to police activity.

More information to come.

[Tara Manthey @TaraManthey]

@DenverPolice A DPD officer just briefed parents waiting in City Park: they received a call from inside the school of shots fired. They have not had any confirmation of it so far. They are evacuating it room by to clear. Kids are going to football field.

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.

New @ChildrensColo research closely follows how a virus called #EVD68 interacts with kids to better understand and prepare for the next pandemic. https://t.co/kQScELZ0Wx

Our reporter @sarahdwire leapt at the chance to cover the electoral vote certification today.

When a violent,pro-Trump mob overtook the capitol ahead of the vote, she was evacuated with the Senators.

Now safe, Sarah has chronicled the historic day.

I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes:

At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

This should be on everyone’s Christmas wishlist! #StayHomeStaySafe #WearAMask https://t.co/AvrpWeCeAs

I’ve already applied this great advice from Dr. Jenna Glover with ⁦@ChildrensColo⁩: How to talk to your children about voting and politics https://t.co/YbdIGVqpGN

What kind of leader do you want? #pleasevote

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

RMNP + Grand Lake + Estes Park = a little slice of heaven

[Michael Booth ☀️ @mboothdenver]

It's not internationally chic like Aspen/Vail, but RMNP & Estes Park are internationally beloved as the world's image of the Rockies, a birthplace for the conservation movement dating back to 1915. Estes & Granby/Grand Lake host 4 million people a year.

You can do it! Please vote!

[CBS News @CBSNews]

YOU CAN DO IT: This toddler motivating his dad on the playground is the kind of inspiration everyone could use ❤️

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

Clever

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Donald Trump is running TV ads taking Dr. Fauci out of context and without his permission.

So, here’s a message from the President in his own words.

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

@andreaprinzi @MikePenceFly___ Can you do contact tracing on the @MikePenceFly___ ?

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

Sounds reasonable-

[Leana Wen, M.D. @DrLeanaWen]

If @realDonaldTrump were my patient, in unstable condition + contagious illness, & he suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others:

I'd call security to restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

From the chief of disaster medicine at Walter Reed:

[Elizabeth Whitehead @elizwhitehead]

Love this!

Collar placed on New York City’s “fearless girl” statue in honor of RBG. Perfect!
