When you hear the word pandemic, it might stir up memories of anxiety, confusion, and loss from recent years. For many of us, the world changed forever during that time. And now, Hawaii Governor Josh Green, who is also a physician, is sounding the alarm once again. He’s urging every U.S. state to prepare for the possibility of new and potentially devastating infectious diseases.
A Physician Perspective on What Coming
Hawaii Governor Josh Green Green has seen firsthand the deep scars left by COVID-19, especially in communities that were already struggling. He’s concerned that if we don’t take action now, we could be blindsided by another health crisis, possibly even worse than the last. With climate change, global travel, and shifting ecosystems.
Health Funding Cuts Add to the Danger
What makes this even more concerning is that federal health funding is at risk of being cut in the coming years. That means fewer resources, fewer healthcare workers, and weaker public health systems, just when we might need them the most. Hawaii Governor Josh Green believes that waiting until disaster strikes is no longer an option.
Preparing Is About More Than Just Medicine
He stresses that protecting people’s health is not just about hospitals and doctors it’s about keeping kids in school, helping small businesses stay open, and making sure families don’t have to choose between paying for medicine or groceries. Preparing now means saving lives later.
A Call for Unity and Urgency
His message is not one of fear, but of urgency and responsibility. Hawaii Governor Josh Green wants states to learn from the past, act in the present, and prepare for a healthier, more secure future. The warning is clear: the time to get ready is now.
