(1/6) Good #SundayMorning! This week’s #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth highlights the release of my new report on smoking cessation – the first one in 30 years! hhs.gov/about/news/202… #CessationSGR
(2/6) Smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the 🇺🇲. To help your patients–or even yourself–check out this consumer guide, which details the benefits of quitting and provides tools & resources in a consumable format. hhs.gov/sites/default/… #CessationSGR
(3/6) It is absolutely shocking that over 40% of smokers are NOT encouraged to stop smoking or given resources by their healthcare providers. Never miss an opportunity to help someone you care for QUIT smoking! 🚭 nytimes.com/2020/01/23/hea… #CessationSGR

1/? GM twitter! Let’s reset the discussion on pain management and opioid misuse. First, we must acknowledge/ I’ve always felt and said that we have a crisis of un and undertreated pain in the US, and it can lead to suicide, self medication w illicits, and other bad outcomes.
2/? We also have an overdose crisis in our country. It is NOW largely fueled by fentanyl, but there traditionally have been, and still are many people who first become dependent due to opioids prescribed to them - or diverted from others to whom they were over prescribed.
3/? It both can be and is true that many people benefit from opioids, while others who are getting them are seeing more downside than upside. Not either/ or. Examples of the latter are many patients (especially peds) getting dental extractions, and most with migraines.

1/5 This week, my #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth science shines light on a new @JAMA_current study on #marijuana use during pregnancy. bit.ly/2L6P7vx
2/5 While researchers caution about potential confounders, their data very much suggest that #cannabis use during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of preterm birth.
3/5 The findings are particularly concerning since an accompanying study from @NIDAnews & @samhsagov finds that a growing number of U.S. moms-to-be are using #marijuana. bit.ly/2RsP6D6

Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) are actions, apart from vaccines and taking medicine, that people and communities can take to help slow the spread of illnesses. Practicing NPIs now will ⬇️ the spread of flu and will prepare us for #COVID #Preparedness #NPIs

Thread: (1/8)
Perhaps the most important NPIs are the ones we can practice in our own homes. (2/8)

Workplace and business leaders have a role too. Although this site describes flu prevention, NPIs are important for other illnesses, including COVID-19 (3/8)

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

Quick thread.

- guys there’s a LOT of disinformation on this platform about the #coronavirus
- facts and accurate reporting are not mutually exclusive
- my SOP is verify, vet & then tweet

I tend to be a fact driven person but I’m also cautious about retweeting or amplifying something I haven’t personally read or verified.

@CDCgov So absent reputable, authentic & trustworthy “data” I think it’s important to gently remind you that FUD can be paralyzing, it’s the fear that can freeze you.
Facts & verifiable data/facts tend to put my mind at ease

🚨BREAKING: @CDCgov confirms that a 2nd US patient has #coronavirus: the 1st is in #Seattle, the 2nd is a woman in #Chicago who had traveled to #Wuhan.

#China quarantined 14 cities, affecting 48 million people.

This is just the beginning...

@CDCgov @thespybrief I spent years developing an #Ebola treatment. Experts are concerned about this #coronovirus, because it's VERY contagious and appears to cause severe disease. Reports from #China a lagging indicators: the virus is spreading quickly, and people are still hospitalized/critical.
@CDCgov @thespybrief Expect this "Novel #coronavirus" to be named soon (perhaps #Wuhan-Cov?). Other recent #coronavirus outbreaks were caused by SARS, MERS-CoV.

Excellent resources to monitor the #CoronavirusOutbreak:
