1/ Q: There's inevitably going to be some socializing this summer. How do I stay safe? How do I tell my kids and my parents to stay #safe?

A: #StaySMART!
2/ Wow, these are some unusual times! Some of us are in the streets every day with large groups, some of us haven't left our homes in months.

Help!?!? How can we socialize while keeping ourselves and others safe from #COVIDー19?
3/ The Dear Pandemic Nerdy Girls are delighted to partner with @IMPACT4HC to offer this handy infographic to help you remember 5 simple rules of thumb for reducing your #COVID19 transmission risk: Stay SMART!

S: SPACE -- Keep your #socialdistance, 6ft. or more!
4/ M: MASK -- Keep it on! #masksforall
5/ A: AIR -- Keep it fresh! #Outside is best!
6/ R: RESTRICT -- Keep it small! Restrict socializing to a small and stable group of friends and family!
7/ T: TIME -- Keep it short! Less time together means less chance for #virus spread.
8/ We recognize that each of these rules presents its own challenges. Remember, the goal is #HarmReduction: Make choices along each of these dimensions that work for you and minimize risk to others.

We hope everyone has a happy summer. #StaySMART!

1/ Q. What can to address racial inequities in #COVID19 and health more generally?

A: We must dismantle #racism at each level it operates on: individual, institutional, and structural.
2/
 1) Individual/interpersonal—check our own biases, and those of others, to end discrimination against people of color. Also work toward reconciliation in populations through open dialogue and share learning experiences with people from different cultural groups.
3/
2) Institutional- overhaul policies, practices and procedures that benefit Whites at the expense of people of color. Especially for healthcare: in addition to implicit bias training, ensure that social determinants of health and racial justice are covered by school curricula.

1/ Today we welcome @DrBMBrawner as a guest Nerdy Girl to discuss racial disparities and #COVID19. She is an Associate Professor at the @PennNursing and a nurse practitioner.

Q. Why are we seeing such disparities in #COVID cases and deaths?
2/ A. One word: racism. Individual, institutional, and structural.
There is no biological basis for “race,” even though people in these groups can share genetic traits. Race is a socially constructed way to categorize people that has changed over time, location, etc.
3/ This presents a challenge when these categorizations were used to deem non-Whites to be inferior, with laws and systems put in place to enforce and maintain this declaration.
