How do you know castro aljazeera Silver Spring maryland dr julie fishes from Georgetown University she says that hes to be more planning for this for the autumn months when flu season begins i think what dr bright did today was called attention to the next steps that absolutely have to happen to make sure that we are prepared to respond to cope at 19 not just now but as we go into fall when the when the situation becomes much more complex as we approach the typical flu season. Im worried im concerned what he pointed out about the lack of planning is something that we should be paying attention to and following through and not simply dismissing it as a political concern its absolutely critical that we plan and prepare to respond Going Forward this is why its so important in any event like this particularly a pandemic of this this magnitude that there is a Public Health expert with the Technical Expertise out front to help give good solid advice and help both the public and Decision Makers understand what is effective and to avoid rumors or any treatment that might in the end be actually risky for their health i am concerned that we dont always have the scientists and the technical experts up front giving clear and unambiguous messages about what we know what we dont know and what we are doing to close those gaps in a in a situation like this its absolutely vital that the Decision Makers at every level the federal level and the state and local levels are relying on evidence based on the best information that we have from technical experts right now.
