Scientists have a new ally in the White House which is a refreshing change of pace. However, the new found trust in science does not mean every elected official in the nation puts stock into what scientists have to say and that is evident with the mass re-openings of a few select states.

Now is the time to double down on safety protocols to end the pandemic.
