From DrPanMD and AsmAguiarCurry: 'To bring COVID under control and address other ongoing public health emergencies, we need a well-trained army of public health workers'

a million AmericansContagious diseases like COVID-19 not only take lives from families and neighborhoods, but also steal jobs and money from businesses and interrupt our children’s education.

Unfortunately, we have taken for granted the vital work of public health workers in preventing dangerous diseases. The normality we enjoyed prior to COVID was the result of dedicated public health professionals who keep diseases at bay, but their numbers have declined for more than a decade.

There are jurisdictions with shuttered public health laboratories, closed for want of being able to hire a skilled lab director. Our corps of public health nurses — certified registered nurses who go into communities to promote health and prevent disease and disability — has been dangerously thinned. Epidemiologists who investigate patterns and causes of disease are unavailable.
