An open letter to hospital and clinic administrators

quote [ Most of the population thinks of COVID as a respiratory disease, when in fact it is a vascular disease with an acute respiratory phase, but that has chronic sequelae in almost every organ system and repeat infections significantly increase the risk of chronic disease. It is driving increases in infectious disease due to immune system dysregulation. This can be seen in increase rates of pertussis, RSV, tuberculosis, and even is thought to be a contributing factor to the rise in dengue, among other diseases. ]

This is an open letter from an epidemiologist with a background in hospital infection control and emergency management. It touches a lot of bases and serves as a pretty decent State of the Ongoing Pandemic.
