▶Today’s political divisiveness confuses effective public health communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are scientists trying to help you be less confused and more informed.

▶In the era of Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc, it’s crucial to ask yourself – how do you know if a source is legitimate?
-Where did you get the information?
-Is it a reputable source such as a published study?
-Is there proof?
-Is it up to date?

▶Scientific messages change as we learn more about the virus every day. But think “We” not “Me. We are all in this together.
Always wear a face covering outside.
Keep social distancing, at least 6 feet.
Keep good hygiene.
Wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds.
We will get through this, stronger than ever!
