What do you think was the biggest news event this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about why it’s a big deal.

<strong>Trump’s appointed officials have been wrecking havoc in public health’s previously most trusted sources of guidance</strong> like the CDC and HHS. It makes me angry they could put up scientifically unsound information that could endanger more lives than already. <strong>Through my public health classes, I’m coming to truly understand how much the US government has mishandled a pandemic that many other countries have handled much better.</strong> Especially on a federal level, the US is failing. Free the people in detention centers! Abolish mass incarceration! Have some goddamn humility.
