"As we move forward, we must remain focused on what the facts tell us," writes Justin Gill, urgent care nurse practitioner and chair of WSNA's Legislative/Health Policy Council. "Well-intentioned public health recommendations and government stay-at-home orders can only work if their scientific rationale is legitimately recognized by the public. We, as individuals, need to realize that we are all in this together."
