To the editor: Due to The Occasions’ editorial employees for publishing Dr. Peter Chin-Hong’s Dec. 20 opinion piece, “Bird flu is coming for humans. We can either get ready or court disaster.”
Thanks additionally to The Occasions for its wonderful protection of the unfold of H5N1 throughout our state and nation. It’s a nice public service.
As a doctor who cared for sufferers, households and associates through the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, I deeply respect Chin-Hong’s smart name for elevated public consciousness and scientifically sound steps to forestall or mitigate a severe outbreak or pandemic of a newly rising chook flu.
The Occasions, our elected representatives and our medical and public well being management might want to deal successfully with the challenges posed within the COVID-19 pandemic, together with public apathy, anti-science sentiment and political bias.
