Thank you, my friends and colleagues working in public health. Thank you for your dedication and your hard work.

Over the weekend Speaker Pelosi criticized Dr. Deborah Birx as an "enabler" and shared a lack of confidence in the Coronavirus Response Coordinator. The President then tweeted "Pathetic." when Dr. Birx continued her apolitical message. (Dr. Birx was appointed to her position by former President Obama.)

These days, those are the rewards of trying to do a good job.

The excellent health director in Ohio, Dr. Amy Acton, resigned after armed protesters arrived at her house. The NYC health commissioner resigned this week as well.

The conspiracy theories attacking Dr. Fauci barely need to be mentioned. Pennsylvania's Dr. Levine has received death threats. Kathleen E. Toomey, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Health, requires personal security.

The list goes on. Dozens of public health officials are leaving their positions in the face of politically-motivated attacks and threats to their families and their safety.

Whatever your politics, I think we all realize that this is not acceptable.

Presumptive Democratic presidential-nominee Biden and President Trump should, jointly or separately, demand that these threats and actions be stopped. Both parties need to stop attempting to take political shots through honorable public servants.

That doesn't mean that honorable public servants can't be questioned, criticized for their mistakes, contested, debated, held accountable, or called out for errors.

It does mean that a nation divided like this must hold itself to higher standards. We cannot politicize every single issue and every single statement. We are, or should be, better than that.

Health-Monitoring is working closely with state and Federal officials on the opioid overdose crisis. In addition to the work for the CDC we've begun, we are taking a deep look at how fatal and non-fatal overdoses can be forecast using available data.

Amid federal uncertainty, states confront opioid crisis State lawmakers have considered about 1,000 measures in the past year aimed at confronting the mounting opioid epidemic, as he**in use spikes and overdoses claim thousands of lives across the country.
