I am so excited to read this book. I started out working at the Health Department when I graduated from college with BSN. I did everything from immunizations, childhood physicals, followups on communicable disease, referrals from CPS to monitor and educate parents, Home Health (1 of 3 health departments that were selected by Medicare to try out the concept of Home Health care.)
Budget cuts, and other life circumstances pushed me into other jobs and even careers. But public health always remained a major interest. It was during the pandemic, and trying to find credible sources of information, lead me to you and a couple of other sources. Your comment about not releasing information because of panic, resonated with me. I was so shocked at some of the guidance and contradicting information during the pandemic.
I’m so glad you did this! I work in local public health, and I will pass it on to the new brand new, 30 years younger than I am health agents in my region. The part about damping down the message so as not too “cause panic”? The public is more resilient than we think. And if they panic this easily, we’re already done. Stick a fork in us and call it a day. The coming decades will not be kind. Climate change, political instability, inflation, famine, pandemics, and war: we’re in for a bumpy ride.
I don't believe that my allowing over 3M Americans to die, is a crisis averted. If anything, it is an indictment against the overall lack of science appreciation by the general public and specifically among political leaders, who are responsible for making some of the stupidest decisions regarding public health, that resulted in a ruined economy and making America's science community question its commitment to helping our society.
