Everyone, we have just come back from the Memorial Day weekend, a time set aside for us all to honor and mourn those in the military who died for our nation. Living in Arizona, I am reminded all the time of our Native American colleagues and stakeholders whose
ancestors died over millennia fighting for their freedoms and also of the many immigrants over hundreds of years who have served in uniform -- people who chose the United States to be home, whose children know no other allegiance and have died and will die
for our nation.<br>

This year, I was also specifically reminded of my other heroes in uniform -- our first responders. I was also reminded of our healthcare providers and others who selflessly put their health and their families' health at risk every day for our safety and health.</div>

This Memorial Day was our first public holiday as we re-enter a different world to the one we left. We are now balancing human health risks from a pandemic virus against human wellbeing risks from an economic crisis. Our balancing act will continue until either
effective vaccines, pharmacological prophylactics or therapeutics are widely available and/or "natural" herd immunity occurs and/or SARS-COV2 naturally evolves to become a human commensal, like two of its close relatives.</div>

We've entered a time of complex risk, where non-linear negative outcomes are possible if we make poor choices. And our choices are not easy. We are not identifying our best options, but our least-worst actions and outcomes. We all lose if we do not protect
our most vulnerable and so our healthcare system becomes overwhelmed. We also all lose the more our economy craters. Everyone's circumstances are different and so are our risks. The next two months will provide a huge amount of biological data. I recommend
that you search it out and analyze it for yourself, in your context, so you can have the most relevant

information</i>. You will know your own best choices, how best to responsibly contribute to decreasing our shared risk.
