For me he made me feel better not scared because I knew someone who knew what they were talking about was in the room.

He came on tv and explained what all the research was saying in a way that I think most people could digest and understand. When it became clear that masks were a huge help in stopping the spread I was definitely relieved because before then we were just guessing.

It’s unfortunate that the news he shared wasn’t what people wanted to hear and it required us to make sacrifices that none of us wanted.

We learned a lot.
