Washington State Center For Childhood: Fill & Download for Free

Hello!The answer is probably not. Donald Trump is only making it worse for Americans as the deadly disease increases across the world. Even his campaign recognizes he’s bungling the response, and they’re now recognizing that if Trump doesn’t start serving as a real president, lives will be lost. White House fears coronavirus could shape Trump's 2020 fortunesHere are the five reasons that things are going to get far worse than they needed to, all thanks to Trump’s foolish decisions.1. Bringing infected people into the U.S. against the Center for Disease Control’s objections.This week, the world learned that the Trump administration forced a plane full of healthy people to sit with 14 infected people with the coronavirus, and didn’t even tell them.“It was like the worst nightmare,” said one senior U.S. official who was involved with the decision. “Quite frankly, the alternative could have been pulling grandma out in the pouring rain, and that would have been bad, too.” coronavirus-outbreak-edges-closer-to-pandemicIt’s unknown why the U.S. didn’t arrange for a private plane to transport the Americans. They have many available, including through the State Department. They could be decontaminated after the fact. The Trump administration didn’t use any of the alternatives that would have made Americans safer.2. Trump refuses to listen to science over his buddy, Xi Jinping.Reporter Helen Branswell wrote for STAT that U.S. health officials have been signaling for weeks that a pandemic was approaching.“While stressing that the virus presents only a ‘low risk’ to Americans right now, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, acknowledged Tuesday that that might not remain the case for long,” she wrote. Understanding pandemics: Key questions as the coronavirus spreadsBut the Washington Post revealed Trump’s own advisers were concerned that he’s putting too much faith in Chinese President Xi Jinping, who has diminished the seriousness of the virus.“Trump has repeatedly told advisers that pushing for a harder line against China could backfire because Xi controls the government ‘totally’ and will not work with the United States if it says anything negative about the country, said one of these senior administration officials, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private talks,” reported the Post. www.washingtonpost.com/health/coronavirus-outbreak-edges-closer-to-pandemic3. Trump lies about the facts of the coronavirus.Donald Trump told the world that by April, the coronavirus would be gone. It’s unknown who told him that or where he got the information, but it’s absolutely false.“Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape, though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now,” Trump said Feb. 10. Will the New Coronavirus 'Go Away' in April?It makes no sense because, in the southern hemisphere, it is already summer while the northern hemisphere is dealing with a mild winter. Australia is in its summer, for example, and there are more cases than in the United States, where it’s winter. Coronavirus Update (Live): 79,707 Cases and 2,626 Deaths from COVID-19 Wuhan China Virus OutbreakThe CDC director, Dr. Robert Redfield, disagreed with Trump’s assessment, saying “we don’t know a lot about this virus. This virus is probably with us beyond this season, beyond this year, and I think eventually the virus will find a foothold, and we will get community-based transmission.” CDC director: Novel coronavirus 'is probably with us beyond this season, beyond this year'4. Trump and the GOP seriously cut public health funding.One of the greatest allies in a disease outbreak can be public health funding. However, the budget passed in 2018 killed over $1 billion from the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF).“When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law on December 22, 2018, it cut $750 million from the PPHF, diverting the money to cover costs of CHIP, the Children’s Health Insurance Program,” The Scientist reported. “CDC relies on PPHF for 12 percent of its budget, with much of that money going toward state and community programs.The PPHF acts as the “core of public health programs” in the U.S., according to former director Tom Frieden. When Obamacare was passed in 2010, it financed the PPHF, but Republicans have worked to undermine the law.It was established in 2010 and financed by the Affordable Care Act (ACA),” The goal was to improve health outcomes and enhance the quality of care. The first initial investment form Obamacare was $500 million, and it grew to over $2 billion by 2015. It was supposed to be protected from Republicans eager to cut funding to anything affiliated with the Democrats’ healthcare law.During the 2017-2018 government shutdown, sequestration took $69 million from the fund, “PPHF was left with $931 million annually to support public health, wellness, and prevention activities,” in the entire country.“In the same fiscal year, the CDC received more than $891 million from PPHF to support vaccine coverage, respond to outbreaks of foodborne infections and waterborne diseases, develop programs to counter the leading causes of death and disability, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and eliminate childhood lead poisoning, among other initiatives,” the report said. Cuts to Prevention and Public Health Fund Puts CDC Programs at Risk5. Trump slashed resources from the Center for Disease Control.While the reduction in funding to the PPHF has been drastic, it doesn’t mean the CDC has gone without its own budget cuts.“The Trump administration in 2018 further diverted millions of dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),” said the Scientist.“CDC’s mission is to keep Americans safe,” said Frieden. “But without funding, the CDC won’t be able to protect us.”As the president presents his new budget for 2020, the cuts to public health and the CDC are even more drastic. Thankfully, that budget isn’t likely to pass either chamber of congress. President’s budget would hinder US public health progress: Huge cuts proposedUltimately, as the coronavirus begins to take over the world, it’s not surprising that Trump and his campaign are more worried that his response could cost him votes in November, instead of the possible mortal dangers to American’s health.Trump’s budget to the World Health Organization that he’s proposed would leave everyone at risk. While he complains that other countries aren’t paying their fair share into NATO, when it comes to the WHO, Trump wants to gut the U.S. contribution. Diseases aren’t like wars; they don’t stay contained in borders; everyone is at risk. Trump’s budget proves that the president doesn’t understand this important fact.

This is an interesting principle but almost impossible to enforce. Schools are one thing; I believe this would be impossible to enforce in larger public spaces — movie theatres, markets, gyms, community centers, etc.And, by unvaccinated minors, do you mean all minors not vaccinated against all childhood diseases, only respiratory pathogens, or include HPV at adolescence?Isolation and quarantine are also generally managed — in practice — at the local level with State Dept of Public Health guidance and directives from the Centers for Disease Control. Based on well we did with the vaccine programs against H1N1 in 2009, I think we have a lot of work ahead to bring all US jurisdictions into even 95% childhood immunization coverage. I worked in California on the H1N1 vaccine campaign. And, I worked in Baltimore and NYC during major tuberculosis outbreaks in the early to mid 1990s.I commend both NYC and Rockland County, along with the counties in Washington State for showing how to get this done. Warts and all.

Jay and Mavis Leno have been married since 1980, which is rather unusual in celebrity Hollywood these days.Jay Leno had discovered the secret to a long-lasting marriage, which he explained in an interview on “The Today Show”: 'Marry the person you wish you could be.’ Mavis couldn’t refuse Jay’s marriage proposal after see realized one simple truth. “Jay is probably the single kindest human being I ever met,” as she stated in an October 13, 2014 interview in The Washington Post. They are a truly genuine, kind, loving couple, and it shows in everything they do, both privately and in the public eye.Perhaps it’s the way they continually give to others that sustains their relationship’s focus, passion and commitment. Jay and Mavis Leno support many charities and causes.Jay has supported the JDM Foundation, the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, the Entertainment Industry Foundation, Livestrong, Stand Up to Cancer, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and many other charities and causes. The philanthropist couple have interests in education, women’s rights, animals, and more. Mavis Leno is the chair of the Feminist Majority Foundation’s Campaign for Afghan Women and Girls. With Jay’s humor and philanthropy, he has changed the world in so many positive ways.In numerous print and online polls over many years, Jay Leno is consistently ranked as one of the nicest celebrities in Hollywood. There was a TV Guide celebrity poll which rated Jay Leno second, only behind Angela Lansbury, who everyone adores.I personally met Mr. Leno (who said to call him “Jay”) years ago during a taping of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” with a small group of television screenwriters. It was a memorable experience. We were seated in the front row of the audience, not many feet away from Jay as he came out before the taping (to do his own warm-up of the crowd). He was relaxed and happy, wearing jeans and a t-shirt.Jay interacted quite genuinely with the audience. One couple was on their honeymoon, so Jay had the couple pose with him in different ways on the iconic set couch. He joked those pics would make some interesting Christmas cards!He noticed one woman was not laughing much, so he asked her if it was his jokes. The woman told Jay that he was very funny; she was just thinking of her young granddaughter who was home with the flu. Jay asked a production assistant if someone from the show could run out to a toy store and return before the end of the taping, so he could autograph it for the sick child. Clearly, Jay’s reputation was fully deserved.When the countdown to the show taping began, Jay dashed offstage for makeup and wardrobe change. We then watched a hilarious monologue, which included one joke that totally bombed. Jay starts laughing, then says, “See, I knew this joke wouldn’t fly, but the writers thought otherwise. This is why you should listen to your boss.” As he laughed again, the audience joined in. Then, Jay sticks the landing with a “perfect 10” joke to close the monologue, showing why he was a late night king for so many years.After the taping, when everyone else has exited the set, each member of the writing class got to shake hands with Jay and introduce ourselves. We posed for a photo.Following the taping, the class enjoyed a two-hour dinner at a nearby steakhouse with two of Jay’s top staff writers. Talk about a crash course in comedy writing, it was remarkable. I knew Jay was loyal and wonderful to his writers as well as everyone else connected to the show. But I truly appreciated Jay’s willingness to support aspiring writers that he didn’t even know.Jay and Mavis Leno are definitely a Hollywood marriage success story. But their love has transcended beyond their own personal relationship and spread around the world, enriching the lives of millions. Thank you, Jay and Mavis, for inspiring us all.
