Barry Kling, Administrator at Chelan-Douglas Health District, was our scheduled presenter. He defined Public Health. Some of the functions of the C-D Health District are sewers, drain fields, restaurant inspections, certifying food handlers and other functions. The Health District is funded with Local, State and Federal funds. The buying power of the monies received has decreased by 56% since 2001. Their goal is to provide the best public health services.

Program
Barry gave an update about the Corona Virus (now called COVid-19) as of 17 Feb. 2020. He compared the lethality of COVid-19 with that of Influenza. The flu has killed more people in the same amount of time since the discovery of CoVid-19.
Barry answered several questions about masks (they MUST fit tightly on the face. Masks work best on those who are infected, rather than those who are trying to keep from getting infected.), tips for air travel (Center For Disease Control), and hand sanitizers (they don't work on COVid-19! Use soap and water to wash your hands completely!)
President Taro Masuda presented Barry with a book that will be donated in his name to the Children's Library at North Central Regional Library.
Raffle Results
Wayne Massing was the $4 winner (again!) from the raffle and wheel spin.
End of Meeting
Club President Taro Masuda adjourned the meeting at 8 a.m.
