Dr. Wilma Wooten on Name Drop San Diego
Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten may be the most well-known doctor in San Diego County after 11 months of pandemic-related health orders, news conferences, public meetings and interviews where she has led — and tried over and over again to explain to anyone who will listen — the local response to a crisis unlike any other in a century.
Reactions to her announcements on everything from the closing and reopening and closing and reopening again of outdoor dining to pleas to wear masks have drawn praise and appreciation from residents, scientists and the health care community — and name calling, harassment and threats from critics. We wanted to ask her how and why she's managed to do a difficult job so well every day, with no end in sight to the sickness and death associated with the COVID-19 pandemic despite a massive vaccine rollout and the state's most recent reopening order.
