Hey all, need some help in locating a different resource for pediatric provider or nurse ACE’s training. I use to have my students take the CDC course—but that’s not an option now. What have you taken that’s an equivalent to the CDC’s training? #CDC #ACEs #Educator #RN Many thanks in advance.

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”

Science affords us the luxury of forgetting the impact of infectious diseases
- In the 1st half of the 19th century 40-50% of children in US did not make it past the age of 5
- TB killed 1 in 7 people in US and Europe
- smallpox killed 80% of infected children

Infectious diseases killed Victorian children at alarming rates — their novels highlight the fragility of public health today
Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.
