 It's very important, I would say critical for public safety and well-being. HHS, who are not CEC scientists, published the following guidelines stating it was not required to test people without symptoms of COVID-19. Dr. Yuri Shostak, a Drug and Discovery Developmental Scientist who's currently working on a vaccine for COVID-19, gives us insight on who HHS is. HHS stands for Department of Health and Human Services and it's a department that has a large umbrella of various agencies and some of the most critical and relevant agencies for our topic of discussion are CDC, the Center for Disease Control, as well as an FDA Food and Drug Administration. In response to the news, Sarah Fing, a computer science and electrical engineer major at Cal, says she prefers advice from the CDC over HHS because of lack of experience. Well, if somebody of a scientist is straight out of their PhD, I'd say they probably really only have expertise on the subjects they wrote their dissertation on in terms of general public health advising. To really be an expert, I think you would need enough time to have done the research yourself, somebody with decades of experience over somebody younger or less experienced. With September's updated guidelines published against the CDC scientist wishes, Dr. Yuri Shostak reminds people what COVID-19 is and the importance of taking the virus seriously. It's a disease that's caused by a virus SARS-CoV-2. It's very important. I would say critical or public safety and well-being is social and specifically physical distances, distancing is critical by wearing masks. What you do, you actually not just protect yourself, but you're protecting others. Reporting for Cal TV, I'm Danielle Evans.
