SUMMARY:Unprepared: What early COVID-19 taught us about our health security
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. Robert Fullilove.\nLong before lockdowns hit home, the tragic quarantines aboard the Diamond Princess and Grand Princess signaled the arrival of a global disaster—one that ultimately cost over 1.3 million American lives and reshaped our world. As official inquiries continue to probe past missteps, leading public health experts warn that the next pathogen is already on the horizon. Join us for a compelling look back at the chaotic early days of COVID-19, the scientists who navigated the storm, and the urgent steps we must take now to ensure we aren’t caught unprepared again.\nIn July of this year, a US Senate committee just concluded the latest hearing on COVID-19.  Continuous efforts are ongoing to affix blame somewhere, anywhere but with the authorities in charge at the time.\n \nSee the boogie man in the room!  Epidemiologists and public health practitioners tell us that there will be a next time.  And, it is when, not if.   How prepared are we for the next pandemic?  \n\nWhen: August 12 at 7pm EST\nWhere: Virtual Event\nRSVP at: https://unprepared.eventbrite.com ( https://unprepared.eventbrite.com )\n\nDr. Robert Fullilove is a professor of public health at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health with a long-standing interest in pandemics.  In this talk, he will look at the role and challenges facing the health of the public and the responses of public health to meet the challenges ahead. \n
