An open letter from a colleague to Drs. Anthony Fauci, Robert Redfield, Deborah Birx, Brett Giroir, Robert Kadlec, Steven Hahn.

Dear Colleagues,

I certainly don’t need to tell any of you how unprecedented and difficult these past eight months have been. As I write this, more than 7.5 million Americans have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The tragedy of what the country has been through is what you all have been living non-stop. Most tragic, of course, are the 215,000 deaths of our fellow citizens from this scourge. I am sure that not a day goes by without you hoping, wishing you could have done more—and could do more—to totally shut down the COVID-19 pandemic.
