Everyone has questions about Hantavirus!

So I was happy to join @andersoncooper and @DrTomFrieden tonight to talk about it and our own risk.

As well as how the dismantling of essential health infrastructure over the past year has left us less prepared for outbreaks like this.

⌛️The Doomsday clock is 85 seconds to midnight. Nuclear risks are rising due to arms control faltering, nuclear arms expansion, and dangerous rhetoric.

But as @MelissaParke01 puts it, the Clock is a warning, and humanity can still change course.
