With odds at 1 in 250,000 for a blood clot caused by the AstraZeneca #vaccine, you are more likely to get struck by lightening! So while the connection is real, it is so rare as to be almost insignificant compared to the benefits! Memorial University of Newfoundland's Rod Russell tells us the facts....are you #curious? We are! https://www.thetelegram.com//is-astrazeneca-safe-you-bet-/... #scicomm #science #sciencecommunication #covid #coronavirus #pandemic #publichealth #publichealth #health #healthy

What if you didn’t wash your hands for a year? #WorldHealthDay #ArentYouCurious to know why hand washing is so important? Over 80% of infectious diseases are spread from contact with many of the daily things you use around you? Washing your hands with soap is the #1 way to prevent against such viruses. Our hands carry approximately 3,200 bacteria from 150 different species. This number would double every time you use a bathroom, to carrying 6,400 bacteria on your hands. Without proper handwashing, these bacteria would then be transferred to commonly touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, counters, and light switches. This is why proper handwashing is so important, especially in the fight against Covid-19. https://www.youtube.com/watch
