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

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.

You can find updated information on our Monkey Pox website - epi.dph.ncdhhs.gov/cd/diseas…
Anyone can get #monkeypox through close skin-to-skin contact, so while nearly all cases are currently among MSM, we will have cases in other folks too.
Healthcare providers must be vigilant and test any patient with a suspicious lesion or sore.
Labs have plenty of tests.

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.”

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.

Pregnant women are at risk of getting severely ill from Covid and a new CDC study found that getting Covid also increased the risk of stillbirth by nearly 2 times. If you’re pregnant or might get pregnant, get vaccinated—not only for your safety, but also the safety of your baby.
