En este aspecto todas las medidas que estamos tomando tiene que ver con la evolución. No lo subestimamos, yo pensé que iba a llegar a más tarde, esa es la verdad. Aceleramos la vacunas con la gripe para que no se junten las dos enfermedades".

The state’s early detection of coronavirus began with Seattle Flu Study Director Dr. Helen Chu, who is credited with first identifying its presence in Washington.
“She’s a true American hero, [who] actually broke this epidemic identified in Washington state when no one else wanted her to test for the virus,” Harvard Chan School of Public Health epidemiologist Dr. Eric Ding told KIRO Radio’s Gee and Ursula Show. “Without her, this epidemic could have been 10 times worse.”
