Dr. Shigo admonished us about bridging biology and botany. I'm going to make a thought bridge here though.
In the early days of EAB a task force of agency foresters/arborists in the affected region gathered to come up with some structure for dealing with EAB. They reached out to people at the CDC to get a different outlook.
Epidemics, no matter their heritage, act alike is what was discussed. In the end the tree care folks agreed on some variety of sanitation and inoculation. Through the years of COVID issues I've been surprised that arbos who have cut down trees with DED, EAB, etc etc or used industry accepted injections didn't bridge their thoughts to COVID. Epidemics are epidemics is what the CDC brought to our game.
