During the bioterror scares of the previous decade we made good progress in this area - but still not enough. Even that is now threatened by state and local budget cuts. This is one of those ares where federal dollars could help. But given the paralysis of government (caused by republicans in the house in my view) - I'm not sure where we will end up.

Thank you for your wonderful work.<br /><br />As an antibiotic researcher (until funding cuts) I feel it is vital there is a voice out there speaking truth to power on this issue.<br /><br />I am curious your take on the current reduction/loss of public health departments nation-wide at a time when we are seeing whooping cough and measles epidemics. The former, in my home-state of WA, is so critical and the staffing levels so low they treat and street without definitive tests which seriously concerns me.<br /><br />Best wishes, MT HoughScienceMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10881828126855758298noreply@blogger.com
