Mashup Score: 146Let's Hope the MMWR Resumes Publication Sooner Rather Than Later - 16 day(s) ago

The communications pause for federal health agencies meant that the CDC couldn't publish MMWR last week -- first time in the publication's 60+ year history this has happened. Not happy☹️-- MMWR is a vital communication tool about infectious threats. https://t.co/FfJeRJy17U
