It doesn't truly work very well when there is asymptomatic spread as in the case of wuhan virus. EVERY western country is getting hit hard by this virus. It is a fact of life. I choose not to blame this on a person who is listening to the virologists and scientists around him on what to do, especially when outcomes are largely no different than anywhere else except a few countries whose populations had the previous outbreak experience and tackled it differently than all the others.BiotechObservernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-44145588196880458892020-04-05T20:09:51.344+03:002020-04-05T20:09:51.344+03:00Either Fox News or DJTEither Fox News or DJTmycroftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-62102352528533930262020-04-05T20:08:56.201+03:002020-04-05T20:08:56.201+03:00 In 2017, the federal government and households a...

The government's role in fulfilling this mission was described<br /> in terms of three core functions of public health practice: assessment <br />of health status and health needs, policy development, and assurance <br />that necessary services are provided. States were considered to have <br />primary public responsibility for health, but it was considered <br />essential that residents of every community have access to public health<br /> protections through a local component of the public health system. The <br />public health obligations of the federal government included informing <br />the nation about public health policy issues, aiding states and <br />localities in carrying out their public health functions in a <br />coordinated manner, and setting national health goals and standards. The<br /> report also contained recommendations for a review of the statutory <br />basis for public health, the establishment of the governmental public <br />health infrastructure as the clear organizational hub for public health <br />activities, better linkages to other government agencies with <br />health-related responsibilities, and strategies to strengthen the <br />capacities of public health agencies to perform the core functions. A <br />complete listing of the recommendations from that report can be found in<br /> Appendix C.Daas Torahhttp://daattorah.blogspot.co.il/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-10657911511820886382020-04-05T11:11:30.482+03:002020-04-05T11:11:30.482+03:00NOT TRUE!
