All of your posts are valued. I share them to our Facebook Maine community of CDC fans,(Fans of Dr Nirav Shah. We understand he will no longer be the Deputy Director the US CDC. So unfortunate, a gut punch, a travesty, like so many others right now) I also share with our other like minded groups which care about public health, public policy, and the wellbeing of our entire citizenry. so- know we appreciate you are carving out time from a busy work and home life to create and write your posts.

from a retired Duke trained PA, you have my thanks

Thank you for you very kind words!

Yes I’ve heard Nirav will be departing, though I’m led to believe that this does not have much to do with everything that’s been going on.

Go be with your kids and wife. Careful in cleaning up that snow/ice mess. Eat Valentine's chocolate. And absolutely WATCH SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY at 8:00PM tonight. It's will be hysterical but also an incredible chronicle of our history in gov, current events and pop culture. You'll also see some incredible music performances! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/arts/television/snl-50th-anniversary-special.html
