coronavirus face mask n95 - Fortunately, American science, innovativeness and ingenuity is a good defense. Over the years, I've been fortunate to work with and get to know a number of our best scientists, virologists, bio-threat experts and emergency preparedness and response professionals. These are men and women I know and trust. They are patriots and many are military doctors who are all about doing what must be done in a crisis situation to save lives today. Over the years, and yes, a good bit this past week, we've discussed how to deal with the type of situation we are currently facing.

According to Dr. Ray Mernaugh, former professor at Vanderbilt Medical School, “A rapid, accurate, and simple screening test is badly needed. He further notes that  simple temperature testing as a screening method at the border overlooks those who have the virus, but no symptoms, as well as those who know they have symptoms and take measures to lower their temperature.
