The pandemic will also have far-reaching effects on the social and mental health of others living through the crisis. SciLine’s next media briefing will explore what the science says about how social isolation, fear, and trauma can impact the health of adults and children—all challenges that countless people and communities will face, regardless of infection status.

Panelists will address where journalists can find accurate data about COVID-19, share advice for using the data within larger context responsibly and ways to deliver that information to communities in easily understandable formats for the greatest impact.

Learn about the global race to develop a coronavirus vaccine. For over 40 years, the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine has researched and tested vaccines to fight some of the most lethal and widespread infectious diseases in the world. Now, they’re working with a National Institutes of Health consortium to develop one for coronavirus. Hear from two of the center’s top experts – and ask them questions about those efforts.

The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus has led to a growing number of COVID-19 hospitalizations and concerns about health system capacity. Models and projections can be useful tools to help policymakers at the state and local levels make evidence-based decisions to slow the spread of the virus and bolster health system capacity. During this webinar, panelists will highlight the role of modeling in helping states prepare and respond to COVID-19.

This annual joint meeting of the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry (AAPHD) brings together oral health officials from federal, state, county and city programs, agencies and schools as well as oral health advocates, representatives from dental insurers and manufacturers from across the country.

American Medical Association President Patrice A. Harris, M.D., M.A., will deliver a live national address on Tuesday, April 7, about the essential need for relying on science and data to protect public health, particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The speech, delivered via livestream hosted by the National Press Club, will center on the need for evidence-based solutions and policies to generate societal trust, and the risk of shifting away from policymaking guided by science.

Drexel University’s Center for Public Health Readiness and Communication is hosting a webinar about the different vaccine candidates under development, the science behind them, the development timelines, how trials work, and then, once the vaccine is ready, what it takes to bring it to market.

The third COVID-19 Conversations webinar will discuss: emerging evidence on SARS-CoV-2 surface and aerosol transmission and stability; emerging and promising treatment modalities for COVID-19, including convalescent plasma and hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine; and the ethical implications and considerations for treating those who are ill with therapeutics approved via an emergency use authorization.

Our understanding of the novel coronavirus is evolving quickly as scientists work around the clock to rigorously study it and the disease it causes in humans: COVID-19. SciLine’s next media briefing will cover how the virus infects and is transmitted between people; case surveillance and projections about how it may spread; and the status of efforts to develop and implement widespread diagnostic testing.

While essential to combating the COVID-19 pandemic, stay-at-home and other social distancing policies can have severe physical and mental health implications. This issue is especially true for the 13.8 million adults over the age of 65 living on their own. During this webinar, panelists will discuss the consequences of social isolation, as well as potential interventions that government leaders, providers, and communities can implement.
