#Measles requires a a vaccination rate above 94% for #communityimmunity to protect people who cannot be immunized.

How Public Health Outreach Ended A 1990s Measles Outbreak And What's Different Now This year's measles outbreak is the largest in recent memory. But from 1989 to 1991, more than 55,000 people got measles. Federal funding and parents embracing vaccines halted the outbreak.

From @npr.org 2019. Measles outbreaks in the early 1990s, which resulted in the vaccination schedule being updated to having MMR vaccine to be given twice instead of once. Now it is the standard of care.

Or will it be going forward?

Had a long overdue physical today. Asked my GP about recent impacts on health care. He said the biggest is that in 2 mos Medicare will no longer pay for virtual visits (had not heard this). He fears the negative impact this will have on senior & rural patients. Suspect disparities will ⬆️.

Changing your mind doesn't always mean you've abandoned your principles. It often means you've learned something.

It's better to contradict yourself and be accused of hypocrisy than to stick to your guns and sacrifice your values.

The hallmark of integrity is not consistency. It's honesty.

The flu season is so severe that it's forcing schools to close across the country Schools around the U.S. are closing due to surges of flu and other illnesses, which are sickening students and staff. Here's what parents need to know.

It would cost $160M per year to retrofit EVERY public K-12 classroom in the US with a Corsi-Rosenthal Box (and students could learn by helping to build them). Estimate includes capital cost, filter replacement, duct tape and electricity, w/ 3-year average. More ...

Agree.

Yesterday, two of my healthcare heroes passed away – both brilliant, insightful & very funny.
Jim Reason, the UK psychologist whose "Swiss cheese model" helped define the field of patient safety;
And Ian Morrison, the Scottish futurist who explained healthcare with unmatched wit & wisdom.
RIP.

'DEI' might be a blip in history—but the value of diversity and inclusion will persist With diversity, equity, and inclusion under attack, those already in the room should stay there, writes Tracy Chou.

I’m repeatedly being asked “how inflationary will tariffs be?”
Unlike others who say “very” or “not at all,” I don’t know for sure.
This is not because I don’t want to commit.
It’s because there are several factors in play that translate not just into genuine analytical uncertainty but also into…

Toxic positivity is pressuring people to look on the bright side. They have to suppress anxiety, anger, sadness, and grief.

Healthy support is shielding people from the dark side. You invite them to express their pain, and show them they're not alone and won't feel it forever.

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

As along as the work is handled appropriately, I see no issue, whether the calls are handled in or outside USA.

For years, we have plenty of RNs providing in person care from those countries.

Five years ago (on that other platform).

What concerns are there?

Congratulations! Incredibly important work! Happy Chinese New Year!
