Remember: There is no health without mental health! #MentalHealth is just as important as physical health, and asking for help is a normal part of life. You should never feel like you have to take on the world 🌎 alone.

Nearly a third of adults nationwide say they’ve never had #COVID19. How have they avoided it?

Most (64%) believe it is because they were careful and took precautions, more than twice the share who think they’ve just been lucky (29%). https://t.co/NQlYiYY9iE
