"Americans remain shaken by the covid experience, including the government’s feeble and at times counterproductive responses. The coronavirus cost more than 1 million Americans their lives and left millions more disabled by extreme fatigue, neurological issues and other symptoms of long covid. At the same time, people are angry that government efforts to keep covid from causing even more harm cost many their jobs, set children back in academic development, and led to an uptick in depression and poverty.

Better public health policies could have prevented this devastation."

This week Congress can help prevent another pandemic catastrophe

Legislation included in the $1.7 trillion budget deal would keep public health officials from repeating 2020's mistakes.
