One example (of thousands) where EIS was invaluable:

2023, a rare fungal outbreak at a paper mill infected workers

CDC EIS helped trace the source, stop the outbreak, and informed future prevention efforts

Now multiply that by 100+ responses every year #PublicHealth

Outbreak of Blastomycosis Among Paper Mill Workers...
This report describes an outbreak of blastomycosis among workers at a paper mill in Michigan.

Telling folks to just "plug in to community" rn is well-meaning and if you can do that, wonderful. But most people are not super connected to community for many reasons. So, if you don't have community rn that's ok, consider finding 2-5 ppl you can form a pod with.
