North Carolina expanding Medicaid isn’t just a win for healthcare; it’s a win for patients, for the medical community, for rural hospital systems, and for our communities at large. The remaining non-expansion states MUST follow suit and expand Medicaid NOW! #South4MedEx

#MedicaidExpansion in North Carolina! Woo hoo!

Striking: 95% of people dying from Covid aren't up-to-date on vaccination.

No war in US history has killed 1 million Americans, and yet the US spends at least 300 times more on our military defense than we do on our public health defense. That must change, or we'll remain vulnerable to disease threats.

The Great Resignation is looking more like a structural labor shift rather than an episodic one. New data outlines strategies hiring managers will need to successfully navigate the imbalance in labor supply and demand.

@EbonyJHilton_MD Goodness. Well. Yup.

.@MaconHarrison: Thank you for working tirelessly. We know how to work hard, but working smarter is what's next. And, don't forget to take care of yourselves! Balance may be a misnomer, but having a holistic experience is encouraged when you go back to work. #NA360

The @Commonwealthfnd Commission on a National #PublicHealth System's recommendations are live. These are the product of 9 public health leaders, chaired by Dr. Margaret Hamburg, working together to create a roadmap for improving public health in the U.S. https://t.co/NJXi3rm9wm

When many people mask up, spread of Covid goes down—mandate or not. A new analysis finds that wearing masks corresponds with a significant drop in the reproduction number of the virus.

A good summary article on #monkeypox so far. But a lot of what we know is based on older outbreaks. ➡️“We can’t use what happened with previous monkeypox outbreaks to make sweeping statements. If we’ve learned anything from COVID, it’s to have humility.”

Public Health Employee Survey Reveals a Workforce Crisis. Viruses pose the threat. Why are we not thinking about “the Blessings of liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” that actually include health and safety???We need public health more than ever. https://t.co/xfBPGwFHgY

“When that white coat is weaponized to spread misinformation, it does public harm. We need the medical boards to stand up and evolve.” @BrianCCastrucci https://t.co/Q9v9tJTfIK

@choo_ek You make me laugh - thank you.

[Lisa Macon Harrison @MaconHarrison]

@ncdhhs Hmmm. I wonder if they will include local public health to see how much is saved when there are prevention, community- based, and wrap-around services for this population. Hope LHD leaders are included in the stakeholder group.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

About 1% of ICU admissions for Covid among patients ages 12-18 were fully vaccinated, according to a new study. Vaccines are extremely safe and they're remarkably effective against severe illness, including in adolescents.
