.@NikkiRomanik and I dig into the Hanta outbreak Honest verdict: we got lucky It won't be a pandemic because virus's biology Not our surveillance, not our systems We find outbreaks through the rearview mirror and being lucky is not a strategy We need a different approach

Tune into our latest episode with the amazing @jessicamalaty as we break down the latest on infectious diseases like norovirus, bird flu, hantavirus, and other outbreaks that may or may not be making headlines. What’s spreading, what’s actually concerning to experts, and how worried does the public really needs to be?

@johncanzanobft Thanks for sharing part of mum’s story, John. I’ve been thinking about her a lot this week - I’m even incorporating a bit of her into my @txst commencement speech this week. Edna and Louis Damphousse didn’t have many nickels to rub together, but they always found one for me.❤️

I’ve visited the Nebraska biocontainment center several times and agree with @SecKennedy and @POTUS 💯 -they are amazing! 🦠 😷 Hopefully this will help underscore the importance of funding preparedness and public health. B/c you can’t build it after you realize you need it!

The Andes type of the hantavirus is spread by “close contact,” but it’s unclear how much of that transmission occurs by inhaling airborne droplets or other means spklr.io/6016EzcPi
