Top of Mind Thursday October 16, 2014: Playing Short Staffed

Top of Mind Thursday
As the Ebola crisis continues to pick up steam there’s one government official we haven’t heard from: the surgeon general.

Leverage2Market LogoThat’s because right now the US doesn’t have a surgeon general. The nomination for this position has been held up in Congress for nearly a year because the NRA doesn’t like the proposed nominee.

In that last year, gun-related deaths have continued unabated, but more importantly, we now have a public health crisis and no chief public health officer to drive the response.

No pro football team would suit up for a game and leave the special teams back at the hotel. The best way to be prepared for an unplanned crisis is to have a well-qualified team in place, with all the key positions manned….before the whistle blows.

Top of Mind Thursday October 9, 2014: A Healthy Lesson

Top of Mind Thursday
After the first Ebola death on U.S. soil, there are plans being developed to do health checks of passengers arriving in this country from Africa.

Leverage2Market LogoIt certainly makes sense to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of a lethal virus by travelers, especially given how quickly illness spreads with air travel. However, we need to remember that the American death count from Ebola stands at one. According to the CDC, as many as 49,000 Americans die each year from influenza.

We’ve all experienced that dreadful feeling when the passenger near us looks and sounds sick: can we hold our breath for five hours and not catch whatever they are carrying?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep sick passengers off airplanes in general? Rather than react to a specific situation, what can we learn that will help keep everyone healthier in general?
