I started being very concerned about Covid-19 coming into our country the end of January 2020. So was my husband, who spoke at our town’s Mayor and Council meeting in February 2020, advising that wearing masks would be prudent. Now I am concerned about Ebola. Being a health care provider for over four decades, I have followed what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been monitoring. This center has been dismantled and our current administration has made poor choices for leadership needed to protect our country from infectious diseases abroad. The World Cup is coming soon into the United States. The epidemiologists, virologists, public health professionals and many others have not been given the tools, support and leadership to keep us safe. My brother Johnny was such a responsible and careful person. He must be rolling over in his grave.
