We don't yet know the extent of the damage done to our workforce. We continue to receive reports of past, ongoing, and future terminations. Public servants being let go chaotically with little warning. Those who remain face overwhelming workloads and wonder what acts they will be ordered to commit.

While emerging diseases grab headlines (rightfully so!), the CDC's ongoing surveillance of chronic issues is essential - like tobacco addiction. They track trends, identify new threats, and evaluate if programs are actually working. #healthdata #prevention #vaping #ecigarettes

Heard from multiple CDC contractors that they were cut by Friday evening, including on teams where up to half of staff were contractors.
Suggests toll at Atlanta-based agency stretches far greater than probationary. Reason given to one contractor was:
"terminated for convenience"

So happy we could cry to see a new MMWR, published for the first time since Jan. 16. This week's seems dedicated to wildfires, with Notes from the Field reports from Hawaii and LA County.
