All of us here at altCDC are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the best examples of a good human, the great Dolly Parton.

AltCDC Merch? We are looking for ways to make altCDC materials available for print or purchase (with proceeds going to charity). Let us know what you would like.

altCDC will be here for you but we want to see a Shadow Cabinet of experienced, loyal, Americans to provide official updates.
"Shadow cabinets" are well established in UK and elsewhere.

Main challenge for Dems is figuring out who would be the shadow ministers/Cabinet Secretaries.

But it's a necessary step.
Idea going around: Democratic leadership could ASAP name an "alternate" HHS secretary--someone to provide public updates and health information. And "shadow" leaders for other depts too, with press conferences, policy initiatives, budgets, speeches.

Thanks to @altssa.altgov.info for sharing this gem.

Was looking for cat videos to cheer us up at #altCDC but I legit laughed out loud here.

Some of us at altCDC are sportsball fans, but all of us are fans of Trump getting booed loudly anywhere, and especially on his NYC home turf. Love to see it.
MASSIVE booing for Donald Trump at the Knicks game during the National Anthem:

Goodnight beds, goodnight feds,
Time to rest your tired heads

Goodnight shoes, goodnight blues,
Take a break from following the news

Goodnight fears, goodnight tears,
AltCDC will still be here

Rest well everyone, we'll see you tomorrow!

First, you can’t fire altCDC and our #altgovs so we gonna be here. Pissing you all off by sharing the tea, giving real info and supporting our government employees.

The government is only as strong as its employees.
And you’ve pissed off a lot of super smart and super skilled employees.

We at #altCDC love books, especially stories of public health. Some of those are wild! Here’s a classic we recently recommended.
GM!

Public health is full of stories - disease detectives, responses to unexpected conditions, and people connecting.

The Ghost Map covers the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak in London, an early example of epidemiology.

What are your favorite public health stories?

If you want to help those fired from CDC over the weekend, the CDC Mutual Aid Network is helping folks with emergency rent, groceries, etc.

altCDC gets no funds from donations, but we can verify they are legit and funds go directly to those impacted.
We're collecting resources for furloughed CDC workers (and other feds!) on our new Shutdown Survival Guide page. Check it out (and let us know if we've missed something!) www.cdcresourceportal.org/resources/sh...
