03 X 135 The Blind Perspective 48: Public Health Departments and Their Mandates

During the Covid Pandemic, public health departments around the world stepped up, some early, some late, but all did an enormous task of coordinating and dispensing the vaccine and made sure that pandemic tracking was kept up-to-date for every city around the globe, and given the limited resources each of those public health departments had to work with, most would be hard pressed to recall a time when public health departments all came together, worldwide focused on a single goal, and although the pandemic and Covid infections seems to be contained, public health continues to maintain a vigilant role in tracking any knew infections in their local areas.

In some cases, public health departments have grown to encompass larger jurisdictions, such as child-care centers, assisted living facilities, and other jurisdictions that were monitored by other departments and enforcement agencies, but the question then becomes, with the limited number of staff manning each public health department, do they have the manpower to spread their purview?

We’ll also talk about the past week’s news items that have come and gone.
