    Shocking news for me as a father- unless we get serious about building healthy communities, new @CDCgov data suggests America’s children may not live as long of a life as their parents. 🙁 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/cdc-us-life-expectancy-declining-due-largely-to-drug-overdose-and-suicides/ …

        How do you recommend we build these communities? Tobacco remains legal and kills 500k/year in US. Alcohol also legal contributes to nearly 90k deaths per year. Opioids we know the stats. Air quality, water quality, & environment current administration cares little about..

        Economic insecurity is killing people. The Great Recession never ended in rural areas. It is your job as Surgeon General to start talking about financial despair as a health issue. You need to endorse unconditional basic income security immediately. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/a3akm4/why-basic-income-is-a-mental-health-issue …pic.twitter.com/aZ7ayjMKXh

        A stark reminder to all parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers and coaches. Don't live in denial. We must talk with our kids about opioid misuse and abuse. #DontLiveinDenial

        And we must also provide healthy meals at the table, minimize screen time, get our kids physically active, and play an active role in their lives...etc etc.

        There are 20,000 gun suicides in the United States every year, more than 50 every single day. https://www.bradycampaign.org/sites/default/files/TruthAboutSuicideGuns.pdf … Time to dedicate #Research $$ that match the gravity of the issue.

        Vaccines mandated schedules & #medicaldevice injuries, but this is what ya'll wanted right? Using public citizens for #HumanExperimentation & HUGE money making business.
