How Will the Government Shutdown Impact Public Health?

Just saw this article from Maryn McKenna in Wired outlining how a shutdown of the U.S. government will have massive impacts on health, locally & globally. It's pretty obvious, really: how can the 3 core functions of public health be achieved if the DHHS and FDA have sent home roughly 50% of their staff, and the CDC has furloughed 68% of its employees?

Who will keep the public healthy now?
