You Can Binge Watch Coronavirus on YouTube

The Coronavirus Outbreak: Tracking COVID-19 - Live Webcast


By the Forum at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and presented jointly with The World from PRX & WGBH

Monday, March 2, 2020 – Noon to 1pm EST

With more than 82,000 cases of the coronavirus illness COVID-19 now confirmed, policymakers and researchers continue to grapple with the outbreak's impact. In this Forum, experts will take on pressing questions about COVID-19. What do we know about the virus itself? How likely is a future vaccine? How is China's stressed health system coping, and how are U.S. hospital systems preparing for cases? What happens if COVID-19 emerges forcefully in areas of the world lacking infrastructure, and what does an effective global response look like? These and other key issues will be unpacked during this dynamic discussion, which will include timely insights from the Harvard China Health Partnership.
