Are we all muted? Just checking since I don't see Mute/Unmute button.

Yes, everyone is muted.

Is there a recognized context (location) where a community/communities are using best practices that balance the interests of public health protection along with recognition of representative government to consider factors in addition to public health mitigation efforts and a balanced distribution of responsibility/power? It sometimes seems like it's all or nothing, and I am concerned that we will not have the flexibility to act quickly enough to save lives the next time we have a crisis (pandemic or otherwise).

Hi Craig. To ensure your question doesn't get lost in the chat, can you add it to the Q&A?

It's never a bad time for The Very Hungry Caterpillar :)

We are playing defense on every level. It is incredible that at the moment our expertise is needed most, we are losing ground.

I love the Very Hungry Caterpillar! (So does my daughter).

Thank you!

Hi Geoff, Is there any way to capture the Q and A and Chat for follow up after the webinar?

I believe the Q&A is captured by the platform and we may be able to collaborate on a working document to provide answers that may be posted to NACCHO University.

Just in case they aren't automatically recorded, Alix, would you be able to copy and paste all of the questions to a word document?

Yes, I can copy them.

Thank you!

Thanks, Geoff and Alix!

Thanks so much for an interesting panel!

That's a great question!

Getting stakeholder input while in the midst of a pandemic should not be the priority. While in states of emergency we should maintain current law so ph can appropriately navigate the pandemic.

Great job y'all; thanks so much..

THANK YOU!! We appreciate the partners that made this possible!

Thank you so much
