Hang on Helathcare workers...the planets are sending out some strong celestial waves 😳😳

🌕Looks like we are all going to get ”Mooned” BIG time tonight. 😂

Tonight is the the year’s first full moon — the Wolf Moon — will rise, and it’s also a supermoon, meaning it’ll look a bit larger and noticeably brighter than usual.

Now as if that weren’t enough, you’ll also notice a bright glow in the sky not to far from the moon and that will be Jupiter.

So if the skies stay clear, tonight is a great excuse to step outside, look up, and start the year off with getting mooned. 🌕✨

Missouri health officials urge flu prevention amid seasonal uptick
JEFFERSON CITY, MO -- The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) reports a significant increase in influenza activity across the state as the 2025–2026 flu season progresses. As shown on the Missouri Influenza Surveillance Dashboard, DHSS has recorded 9,255 laboratory-confirmed influenza cases and 558 flu-related hospitalizations statewide.

Flu activity in Missouri typically begins in October and peaks during the winter months. This season, emergency department visits for influenza-like illness and positive lab tests have climbed above baseline levels in the first week of December, prompting health officials to remind residents of the importance of preventive measures.

“Flu is more than just a seasonal inconvenience—it can lead to serious health outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations,” said Dr. George Turabelidze, state epidemiologist. “Influenza vaccination and simple preventive steps are key to keeping Missouri families healthy this winter.”

The best defense against influenza is annual vaccination.

Other preventative measures include:
Practice good hygiene: Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Cover coughs and sneezes: Use a tissue or your elbow, not your hands.
Avoid close contact with sick individuals: If you are ill, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever subsides.
Limit face-touching: Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth to reduce self-inoculation and the spread of germs.
Clean surfaces: To reduce influenza risk, consistently clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces which could be contaminated with flu viruses.
