This afternoon, local elected officials and Hospital Partners participated in a zoom conference call.
Again, my critique is pulling the health professionals away from the individuals in the health care facilities and on the day that 11 individuals have passed away, the first day for double digit deaths in Knox County is insensitive and wrong.
