I went to their gathering on the mooring as soon as I got there. They were discussing
and scheduling the week’s schedule. I could understand their roll on the comminute.
One of the nurses gave me a tour of the department and explained the significance
of the health department to the neighborhood. I’ve now learned that any infections
they discover, like COVID-19 and HIV, must be reported. They’re different classes of
