Her work must start at the CDC itself, where morale has been devastated because thousands of public servants in Atlanta and around the world have spent the past year being maligned and undermined at every turn, serving as punching bags for all that has gone wrong during this pandemic. CDC staff members need to be heard; they need to trust that this is, indeed, a new day for the agency.
The agency Walensky is about to lead must assume its rightful role once again and drive the public health response and public communications during this pandemic. Frequent CDC briefings about the coming course of the pandemic by high-level and well-informed subject experts, instead of politicians, should become the norm so the American people receive truthful, accurate and up-to-date information that is not contaminated by party or politics.
The erosion of trust will not be repaired overnight, and a transparent process to identify the failures that brought us to this point, as well as the needed corrective actions to move us forward, cannot begin soon enough. In particular, during the earliest days of the pandemic that led to a delay in availability of accurate tests for SARS-CoV-2 must be thoroughly addressed before the next crisis arises.
THINK The problem isn't at the CDC though. It's the anti-science morons in the admin who undercut them constantly.
THINK Classify right-wing extremism as the disease it is so our crazy relatives can get some help.
THINK Is the 'American Dream' based on 'Science'? Considering you have Global Warming, Climate Change and Pandemics, maybe that's the change ytou need to make. and electing Joe Biden the OPEN BORDER Democrat, is NOT the way to go obvioulsy.
