“Having owned veterinary practices during both the SARS and H1N1 swine flu pandemics, I’ve experienced first-hand these legal, ethical, and health challenges firsthand,” Dr. Ward wrote. “While the current coronavirus pandemic is potentially much more severe and wide-reaching than earlier disease outbreaks, I thought it would be helpful to share some of the research and resources we used to navigate these turbulent times.”
