Because the current mood is so heavy, please share one thing that happened this week that brought you joy. I'll go first - A friend who was going through a rough time with their health had a breakthrough and is on the path to recovery. We got a chance to catch up yesterday. Made my week. #goodvibes
We hoped this day wouldn't come but now it has. As a physician and a scientist, the best I can do is stay focused on evidence-based public health guidance and interventions. Continue to advocate for and inform the public. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
