Infectious Disease Experts On What Frustrates Them Most During COVID-19

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING As the coronavirus pandemic rages on in the United States, infectious disease experts continue to work tirelessly in spite of their exhaustion and frustration. Here’s what infectious disease experts told us is frustrating them the most at this stage of the pandemic: People are disobeying public health guidelines, putting themselves and others at risk. It is the minds of experts that will get us through this pandemic, and to attack them, not for any fault but for their virtue, is nihilistic.” — Amesh A. Adalja, senior scholar at Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security “Not wearing a mask is an act of selfishness, not personal freedom.” - Lee W. Riley, infectious disease expert at the University of California, Berkeley So many people are dying preventable deaths. “Starting with the White House and the president, there is no leadership and no attempt to set a good example to follow the guidelines of public health officials and infectious disease experts. It is not surprising that the two countries with the worst COVID-19 epidemic are the U.S and Brazil —two countries with leaders who share one thing in common — their personal ambition at the sacrifice of the health of their people.” ― Lee W. Riley, professor and head of the infectious diseases and vaccinology division at the University of California, Berkeley There’s too much distrust around vaccines.
