Hi Guys,
| don't have anything written up - been staying away from this issue (kind of outside the CD realm, eh?). Mlive
has had some good articles with timelines and actions taken by city/state government and the health
department.
When the Hurley Doc released her evaluation of lead data from their clinic evaluations there was an initial
response from our environmental health folks that suggested that their data didn't show what Hurley's
did. Unfortunately, after paring down MDHHS data to just kids who likely were exposed to Flint drinking
water Eden (Wells) was quoted in one article that there indeed was an increase in kids less than 6 after the
switch. (You may want to talk with Eden, Joyce - I've only been privy to what is in the news.) The Public
Health Emergency was declared after that - (last Thursday).
Honestly, | wouldn't offer too much information on this issue...(That's my 2 cents)
