People here in the state of Maine love our CDC director so much a local candy company put his face on a candy bar. 10% of sales go to help out a local food pantry.

I'm in Maine where we have crushed the curve and formed an actual fan club for our state CDC Director, @nirav_mainecdc - now to keep it going now that we are into tourism season.

Being from Maine, that's awesome ... not to mention cool to have the head of CDC in the whitest state in the USA be Indian-American. Seems he's much beloved, even has his own candy bar https://t.co/T8gQckJC6G

I love Maine CDC's Dr. Nivah Shaw. So down to earth and straight forward in his twice a week pandemic updates. Then he pulls things like this yesterday (go to 17:00 or so if it doesn't link right to that point): https://t.co/8a5R074IvR

Is that CDC in general? I don't trust trump's CDC as it has been gagged. Our CDC in Maine, Dr. Nirav Shah is a superstar, Wilbur's Confections in Freeport has named a candy bar after him. He advocates for mask wearing!

Sometimes your job as a Townsquare DJ is to watch closely for news your community needs to know about. And sometimes when you watch as closely as Jeff Parsons from @Q979 in our Portland market, you get a nice surprise. https://t.co/zwidXzVcR5
