@jemillerwbal If this data is actually driving MDH’s decision on allocations and what they allege to be an equitable distribution across jurisdictions, there’s no reason they don’t have this data readily available to share with us.

I JUST VOTED—have you? We’re down to the LAST DAY for you to get to the polls! If you’ve already cast your ballot, call your family, friends, and relatives who live in other states to remind them to vote because it's ELECTION DAY!

We’ve instituted universal masking of all employees here at Johns Hopkins for our own protection and those whom we’re caring for, so this mask will be my new best friend for the next few months. Thankful we have #PPEs. #COVID19 #HealthcareHeroes
As a member of the Executive Nominations Committee, I take my responsibility of reviewing appointees seriously, especially after insider deals between UMMS and its board. That’s why I’ve continued to ask questions about what prior board members knew https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-umms-vetting-20200218-7kcfgxeofzew3g2szn5sdxspfy-story.html
