David Engelthaler Quotations

We know it's not going away any time soon. We're just urging people to be prepared.

We're kind of looking at this now as 'the year' for valley fever. Over the past couple of months, it has really been the most dramatic increase that we've ever documented.

We don't know what the likelihood of that occurring is.

We think the worst is still yet to come.

It's just the overall significance of the impact of such a large-scale emergency ... We can't be stuck in the old Katrina model where we're not prepared.

It's hitting us much earlier this year. We don't know where this is going, but it's definitely spiking, definitely on the upward trend, but we don't know when it will peak.

I know we got hit pretty hard here in the health department with a lot of upper respiratory infections.

Certainly we know we've got a lot more to do, but this marks a significant advancement forward for preparedness in Arizona.
