In this episode, we define public health emergency and the end of the State of Emergency and what does that mean for the rest of us in the country. We talk about what that means for vaccines, medications, masks, the Emergency Use Authorizations or EUA, mandates, keeping our children and other vulnerable family members safe, insurance and what will be available for managing infection with this Emergency Declaration coming to an end.
