Description
In this week’s Verbrugge View, City Manager Jamie Verbrugge gathers information on the measles outbreak, healthy child development, sun protection and insect prevention
A
For
nearly
seven
decades,
and
especially
for
the
last
40
years
since
we
have
incorporated
the
community
health
board
serving
Bloomington
Richfield
and
the
Dyna
this
office,
that
Bloomington
public
health
has
made
sure
that
our
community
stays
strong
and
healthy,
and
so
today,
on
the
verb,
Ruby
view
we're
going
to
go
inside
and
learn
a
little
bit
about
what
they
do
and
also
talk
about
some
current
events
that
are
important
to
the
community.
So
why
don't
you
come
along
as
we
go
meet
our
public
health
staff
and
this
week
for
Brookville.
A
I
am
here
with
Bonnie
Paulson,
Bloomington,
public
health
administrator,
and
the
first
thing
we
want
to
talk
about
is
news.
You
may
have
seen
about
an
outbreak
of
measles
in
the
Twin
Cities
metro
region.
Now
the
Bloomington
Public
Health
Division
works
cooperatively
with
other
public
health
agencies
in
the
metro
area,
and
so
our
staff
has
been
activated
is
working
very
hard
to
address
the
measles
outbreak,
not
just
in
Bloomington
but
in
other
cities
as
well,
so
Bonnie.
Why
don't
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
how
the
outbreak
key
is
affecting
the
Bloomington
area
right.
B
Now
we
don't
have
any
active
cases
right
in
Bloomington.
There
are
a
couple
over
in
Richfield
and
because
we
work
cooperatively
with
Bloomington,
Edina
and
Richfield.
We
are
working
with
Richfield
to
cover
those
cases,
we're
also
working
very
closely
with
Hennepin
County
and
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
to
make
sure
that
we
are
aware
what's
happening
in
our
local
area
and
also
making
sure
that
we
kind
of
cover
what
we
need
to
do
for
our
local
residents
and
for.
A
B
Kneazle
is
a
very
contagious
disease
and
it's
been
we've
had
a
vaccine
for
it
since,
like
the
early
60s,
so
a
lot
of
people
have
gotten
it,
but
there
are
some
people
who
have
chosen
not
to
get
it,
and
that
makes
them
susceptible
to
this
fact
to
this
disease
because
it
is
airborne
and
can
be
passed
just
in
walking
pass
someone
who's
shedding
the
virus.
It's
important
to
have
that
vaccine
to
make
sure
that
we're
covered
and
we
are
immune
to
it.
B
We
don't
know
if
somebody
has
it
because
they
can
be
shedding
the
virus
for
days
before
they
even
work
out
in
the
rash
and
up
to
four
days
after
so
sometimes
we
don't
know
that
somebody's
shutting
it
until
after
we've
been
exposed
and
I
think
that's
kind
of
what
some
of
the
work
has
been
with
this
outbreak
once
we
know
a
child
had
some
measles.
By
that
time
they
have
may
exposed
many
people
either
in
their
surroundings
or
in
passing,
when
they've
been
out
in
Emmaus
and.
B
Definitely
can
call
us
here
at
public
health,
but
there's
lots
of
resources
on
the
website.
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health,
we
have
stuff
on
our
website.
Also
a
lot
of
those
links
go
to
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health
and
then
also
the
CDC.
The
Center
for
Disease
Control
also
has
resources
responding.
A
A
C
I'm,
a
public
health
nurse
we
work
in
Bloomington,
Edina
and
Richfield
to
serve
parenting,
pregnant
and
parenting
families.
Most
of
the
families
that
I
work
with
are
young
and
they're
new
parents.
So
one
of
the
programs
that
I
do
is
called
Healthy,
Families
America
and
it's
evidence-based
home
visiting
program
that
uses
a
curriculum,
but
I
have
right
here
actually
to
kind
of
guide
how
we
do
art
of
it.
So.
A
C
A
C
A
C
This
one
is
supposed
to
represent
a
newborn
brain
and
a
lot
of
people
think
that
newborns
come
out
as
a
blank
slate,
but
they
really
don't.
They
have
all
the
raw
materials
right
here
that
we
have
in
our
adult
brain.
So
it's
they're
born
with
the
same
amount
of
cells,
actually
more
cells,
because
we
need
some
in
that
pruning
process
as
we
grow
I
think
I
did
too
so
you
can
take
a
look
at
the
newborn
brain.
It's
quite
light.
There
are
some
connections
there
and
we'll
call
this.
C
C
So
in
your
in
your
hands
there
you
have
the
three-year-old
brain,
which
is
quite
active,
lots
of
connections,
lots
of
things
happening
there,
you
can
see
the
growth
motor
activity
center
is
much
larger.
Now
we'll
say:
self-regulation
is
here
still
pretty
small
and
that's
why
you
get
those
Tantrums
during
the
toddler
years.
But
overall
you
can
tell
that
the
brain
has
all
of
these
healthy
connections.
It's
lit
up.
It's
colourful,
there's
lots
of
good
things
happen
in
there.
So.
C
Does
it
does
so?
I
always
tell
parents
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
marketed
to
parents
to
make
them
think
that
they
can
use
these
products
to
get
their
babies
to
be
smarter
and
healthier,
and
ultimately
it's
not
putting
them
in
front
of
a
screen.
It's
not
some
fancy
expensive
toy
that
you
can
use
to
get
the
spring
development
if
you
as
a
parent
and
that
parent
child
interaction.
That
happens.
One
of
the
most
important
parts
of
that
is
read
to
your
kid.
Oh
of
course,
we'll
set
them
up
for
academic
success
later
on
Thank.
A
C
A
A
So
Nick
is
going
to
talk
to
us
about
some
of
the
things
that
you'll
encounter
when
you
go
outside
this
spring
and
summer
and
how
you
can
safeguard
against
some
of
those
things
that
are
less
healthy
for
you.
So,
let's
start
with
sun
protection.
When
you
go
out
on
a
sunny
day,
what
do
you
need
to
do
to
protect
your
something
so.
D
Before
you
go
outside,
enjoy
the
nice
sunny
day
put
sunscreen
on
about
15
minutes
before
you
start
going
outside.
Typically,
we
recommend
SPS
f15
at
the
minimum.
You
need
to
reapply
it
every
two
hours
for
when
you're
outside
or
if
you're,
getting
really
really
sweaty
you're
swimming
in
the
pool
or
outdoor
in
the
lake
and
you're
drying
yourself
off.
You
need
to
reapply
sunscreen
after
you
do
that
and
hats.
D
And
ticks
are
the
two
biggest
things
we
worry
about
so
ticks
and
some
mosquito
species
you
can
get
pretty
much
anytime
during
the
day,
but
it's
most
often
a
dawn
or
dusk.
Same
thing
with
ticks
is
it
beat,
is
putting
on
some
DEET
20
to
30
percent
is
what
we
recommend,
especially
around
the
ankles,
with
feet
for
minimizing
tick
exposure
and
then
an
exposed
skin
for
mosquitoes.
Aside
from
being
annoying
and
getting
an
irritation,
you
actually
get
it,
they
can
carry
diseases.
D
D
A
We
always
encourage
people
to
get
outside
to
lead
a
healthy
lifestyle
and
an
important
part
of
that
lifestyle
is
taking
the
appropriate
precaution.
So
it's
not
just
the
activities
that
you
engage
in,
but
it's
making
sure
that
you
don't
allow
the
environment
to
affect
you
as
well.
That's
it
for
this
week.
Thank
you
for
tuning
in
and
look
to
you
next
week
on
verb
review.
