won t go away? i m going to say a word thatg on. preparedness. we should be in a constant state of preparedness. you used to hear me talk about vigilance. i m not saying to let the vigilance go, but preparedness is where we are right now. and preparedness means that you are using multiple mitigation layers and strategies. you are masking in higher risk situations, that you are being vaccinated and boosted because of the emergence of variants where there is some immunic state, that you have access to antivirals and rapid testing. those strategies are under the banner of preparedness and that is where we have failed the public. we have not told them how to go into their tool kit and which tool to pull out because of the noise of politics. we need to listen to the wisdom of science. listen to the wisdom of science. i can t punctuate that enough. is covid ever going to go away?
