“On Covid-19, should we be optimistic? Or pessimistic? (Or both?)”

Brooks Gump, Falk Family Endowed Professor in Falk College, was quoted in The Buffalo News for the story “On Covid-19, should we be optimistic? Or pessimistic? (Or both?)” Gump, an expert on epidemiology and public health, says that while it is easy to be optimistic that COVID case numbers are getting better, it is no time to let up on behaviors that have been safeguarding public health. “This is not the time to let up. This is the time to double down, as hard as that is,” Gump says.
