What is #socialdistancing and how do you participate in social distancing? Public health experts and White House #COVID19 task force members Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams explain

@energyandcommerce 6m

Dr. Deborah Birx shares why it’s important to close schools to stop spread of #COVID19 and other respiratory diseases: “If we can stop spread of other virus as well as COVID-19, we can ensure that our health care workers are focused on those who need us the most.”

@energyandcommerce 6m

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams answers: What should I do if I think I have #COVID19 ? First ➡️ Call your health care provider. ❌DON’T walk into health care facility without talking to your health care provider b/c you may spread #COVID19 to others

🚨WATCH: E&C GOP Leader @repgregwalden LITERALLY walks across the aisle to ask Democrats to drop their unnecessarily partisan drug pricing plan and instead support H.R. 19, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act, the bipartisan plan to lower drug costs and promote #MoreCures Learn more about H.R. 19, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act – the bipartisan solution that can provide relief to patients and seniors from high prescription drug costs. ⤵ https://www.gop.gov/morecures/

@energyandcommerce 9m

#MoreCures > #FewerCures The Lower Costs, More Cures Act uses bipartisan reforms to lower out of pocket spending, protect access to new medicines and cures, strengthen transparency, and champion competition. Every single provision is bipartisan. Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi’s partisan drug pricing scheme is not only bad policy, it’s never going to become law. We’re all here to get things done for the American people – so let’s get this done, and let’s do it now. Check the link in the bio for more on the Lower Costs, More Cures Act!

It's been one year since @realdonaldtrump signed the historic SUPPORT Act into law. This bipartisan work is the single largest congressional effort to tackle a drug epidemic in history. Let’s keep moving #ForwardWithSUPPORT to combat the #opioidcrisis

DYK? – Tonight’s #WorldSeries game between the @astrosbaseball and @nationals will be held on a former 38-acre Brownfield site. #TakeItBack #STAYINTHEFIGHT . ➡️ Brownfields sites are often abandoned, closed or under-utilized industrial or commercial sites. ➡️ The EPA Brownfields program helps communities, states, tribes and others to assess, safely clean up and sustainably reuse these sites. . Last Congress, a new E&C-led law made improvements to EPA’s Brownfields Program while encouraging EPA, states, and local governments to work together to redevelop properties, create jobs, and provide for economic development. So, as you watch the game tonight, know that you’re also seeing good environmental policy in action! Let’s Play Ball! ⚾️⚾️⚾️
