There is a deep need for this conversation and I am getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of action and/or community of practice. So, you’re the lucky audience that gets this in their inbox; a bit different format and tone than other YLE articles. Just pretend you’re reading the Washington Post. A new bill introduced in Congress calls on the U.S government to focus on combating misinformation. The ...

LINKIs COVID-19 winding down? Scientists say no. Here's why
Is COVID-19 winding down? Scientists say no. Here's why By LAURA UNGAR AP Science Writer Is the coronavirus on its way out? You might think so. New, updated booster shots are being rolled out to better protect against the variants circulating now. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has dropped COVID-19 quarantine and distancing recommendations. And more people have thrown off their masks and returned to pre-pandemic activities. But scientists say no. They predict...

LINKSurvey: 40% of parents won’t get their child a COVID-19 vaccine
By Virginia Langmaid, CNN New survey results published Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation indicate that 43% of parents of children under 5 in the U.S. say they will not get their child vaccinated against COVID-19, the highest percentage in the year that KFF's Vaccine Monitor survey has been asking the question.

LINKThe 4-7-8 method that could help you sleep
I often have trouble sleeping; partly it is age related, and recently it has been stressssssss. I do meditate which helps, and I've heard of this method in the past and I'm willing to give anything a try. The 4-7-8 method that could help you sleep Falling asleep or coming down from anxiety might never be as easy as 1-2-3, but some experts believe a different set of numbers -- 4-7-8 -- comes much closer to doing the trick. The 4-7-8 technique is a relaxation exercise that involves ...

LINK400 Americans are dying each day. We cannot accept this reality. YLE 9/13/2022
400 Americans are dying each day. We cannot accept this reality. Katelyn Jetelina We are losing 400 Americans a day. In the last 7 days, we have lost 2,299 people. During August 2022 alone, we lost 15,284 Americans to COVID-19. This means COVID-19 remains the third leading cause of death in our repertoire of threats. And it’s largely preventable. In the U.S., death rates are not back to pre-pandemic times; excess deaths are still 10% above “expected.” This is changing our ...

LINKA better booster campaign YLE 10/24/2022
Katelyn Jetelina MPH PhD Here we go again. Pandemic fatigue coupled with the most contagious Omicron subvariants yet, BQ.1.1 and XBB, are driving yet another viral surge across the globe. Pair this with waning immunity and suboptimal booster uptake among the vulnerable, and the U.S. may see what’s happening in Germany right now. Why is booster uptake suboptimal? Throughout the pandemic we have leveraged “bench science”—a field that deals with things that can be observed and ...

LINKRSV is back: FAQ YLE 11/10/2022
(Click the link for graphs and graphics) By Dr. Katelyn Jetelina MPH PhD We are seeing a tsunami of respiratory illnesses and, in its wake, severe disease and overcrowded hospitals. This is mainly driven by RSV, with flu picking up steam. COVID-19 infections have yet to start rising, but we still expect these to uptick soon. Children are getting hit particularly hard. Emergency department visits for 0 to 4 year-olds, for example, are the highest they’ve been throughout the ...
