They started in 2018?! I was obviously living under a rock. Meet Tuberculosis, Influenza, Novel Influenza A, and... @Taiwan_CDC herself!pic.twitter.com/riJ1s1YSID
Can't... stop... sharing..... Dengue fever, Enterovirus, Legionnaire's disease, the mite-borne Tsutsugamushi disease. #publichealth #scicommpic.twitter.com/UCU3AGYeNJ
The evil twins of Chicken Pox and Herpes, Viral Gasteroenteritis, the Plague, and Mr Quarantine himself!pic.twitter.com/9TUN58hZo2
The cover of the @Taiwan_CDC 2020 #DISEASE calendar, featuring the gorgeous Taiwan CDC 白靜 (literally: white and clean, but also a legit name). Too bad postal service btw Taiwan & Austria is currently disrupted....pic.twitter.com/Kl3tNS9DI9
Oh man, I'm reading the Taiwan CDC FB comments under these posts and people are not amused.... full of pissed folks angry about pandemic policies (mostly against porous borders and foreigners) & accusing the CDC of using humor as propoganda to cover up...
Ok, so I was wrong. These are faux covers. There's only one book/manual & I don't think they're selling them yet #DDD @Taiwan_CDC #CCC

Still, they're all commissioned by the @Taiwan_CDC as part of their campaign for public health, including the book, which will talk about the 12 main infectious diseases of Taiwan (seems like all this was pre-COVID, will COVID be featured as the Final Boss?).
Updating this thread with more faux covers that came out this year. Again, this is part of @Taiwan_CDC's #publichealth #scicomm #sciart #healthcomm campaign. Each character is based on the vector & etiology of the disease in humans.
