I've found this pretty interesting. It does a good job of explaining measures taken to flatten the curve in different countries.

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

The steps taken in certain countries to prepare for the coronavirus may have allowed them to flatten the curve substantially sooner than others

I feel like I was hacked on here because I just finally got back into this account and very random people are said to be my contacts that I do not know. I was hacked on several other social media sites so, it would make sense if this one was also affected.

Did you meal prep on Sunday? Cooked food is only safe for 3-4 days when stored in the refrigerator. A safer alternative is meal prepping at the beginning of the week & then again in the middle of the week! Your food will be fresh AND safe. #FoodSafety

Lung damage from vaping illnesses looks “like the kind of change you would expect to see in an unfortunate worker in an industrial accident where a big barrel of toxic chemicals spills,” a Mayo Clinic doctor said of a new report. https://t.co/vFpbtFEgQB

[FDA Tobacco @FDATobacco]

FDA developed youth vaping prevention posters for use by various groups including doctors, youth groups, churches, or state and local public health agencies.

Do you educate teens on the dangers of vaping? Order or download the posters for free. https://t.co/NnhglqJi1J

Lab tests found that swabs from pillowcases unwashed for a week harbored 17,000 times more colonies of bacteria than samples taken from a toilet seat. 😮 https://t.co/88iAPCVeGX

Woohoo for Friday curveballs! 😂 i didnt know we were getting a shipment of 553 boxes of syringes today. Im the only person here for the prevention department. At least theres an electric lift up to the attic to put the boxes on 👍

Yesterday we drove from Green Bay to Lac Du Flambeau to table at their community health fair. It was gratifying to educate teens about condoms, STDs, HIV, & overdose prevention. They were eager to learn a few things- especially around condoms. A worthwhile 15hr work day, id say

[Brooke Mentzel, CHES @MentzelBrooke]

Who wouldnt want a condom with sayings like these?

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

New @CDCgov data shows US life expectancy has dropped for the second time in the past three years, due to increase in suicide and overdose death rates. We need come together as a nation to address community health and wellness for the sake of our future.

I advocate for vaccines because vaccines cause adults, not autism #APHA2018

A week ago @RepRonKind came to UWL's legislative gathering and spoke about health policy being put in action. Today we met in his D.C office to discuss further public health issues. Thanks for being a public health champion!
