    Wonderful choice and one of many great health related picks that Joe Biden is making. This is all so promising. We are all going to be okay if we just adhere to the basic CDC guidelines and apply them with common sense.

    Fantastic choice by the President-elect. If only Mayor Fuller, Superintendent Fleishman and the school committee would heed Dr. Wallensky’s recommendations.
