Please read this. Misinformation is by far one of the biggest public health problems in this country
FALSE/Misleading CLAIM: "This week, the CDC quietly updated the Covid number to admit that only 6% of all the deaths recorded actually died from Covid."
Lots to unpack here. Bottom line: No, the CDC did not 'admit' only 6% of deaths were due to COVID.

Seems to me that we were very reactive to Coronavirus instead of being proactive. Which doesnt surprise me bc of the lack of support for public health in general
With the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. now in four figures, public-health experts have harsh criticism for how the White House has responded

My thoughts on that front line doctors vid:

Breaking down scientific information is one of the most important skills anyone can have. It's why I love teaching nutrition to middle school kids.
Also we get to talk about food which is something everyone loves all the while teaching & promoting healthy habits.
I can talk about nutrition forever
It’s legit one of my favorite things to talk about
I enjoy speaking in scientific terms with people who understand
What’s even more fun?
Breaking down scientific terms in a way a first grader can understand
That’s how you educate for change

"Not enough people in these communities advocate for their children and say, 'Enough. We need to help our children eat healthier and live better lives,'"
Urban school districts in the U.S. lag behind their counterparts in other parts of the country in food & nutrition education. For e.g., just over 60% of schools in Boston & just over half in Oakland, Calif., report teaching the benefits of healthy eating.

Great thread on how obesity is both genetic and a result of our environment
“Obesity is genetic”
If you were just triggered, then this thread is for you.
If “but the human genome can’t evolve in a generation!” has passed your lips in the past few months, then this thread is for you.
🧬This is why obesity is genetic. And the environment is to blame.
