Virtual Meeting of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense
The ongoing novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has taken the lives of more than 100,000 Americans and damaged the Nation’s economy. As the country reopens, the disease threatens the public, now and into the foreseeable future. Federal support for state, local, tribal and territorial preparedness and biosurveillance will be crucial to addressing further spread of COVID-19. The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense intends to address national policy and resource needs for response to and recovery from this crisis.
Please join us on July 21, 2020, when we will premiere ”¯COVID Complexities: Converging Threats, Fractured Resources,”¯ a virtual meeting to help the Commission better understand the potential for COVID-19’s reemergence, the country’s efforts to track the spread of the disease, and national readiness to address future biological threats.
Confirmed speakers include:
Jared Moskowitz – Director, Florida Division of Emergency Management
Alexis Madrigal – Co-Founder, The COVID Tracking Project, and Staff Writer, The Atlantic
David Mitchell – President, International Association of Emergency Medical Services Chiefs
Speakers will discuss the potential for compoundment of the biological threat, disease-tracking needs, hospital preparedness and emergency management challenges.
