What happens when COVID-19 doesn’t go away? A growing number of patients report symptoms that stretch on for months, and some have been left with organ damage and other debilitating ailments. In this webinar, we’ll consider what kinds of care and support such “long-hauler” patients might need moving forward, and what journalists need to know to tell such stories in their communities.
National experts will consider challenging ethical issues, including equitable distributionof vaccines, global coordination of vaccine development, challenge trials with deliberate infection of research participants, and what proof of safety and efficacy the Food & Drug Administration should require before a vaccine is deployed.
This year’s theme: Fixing Our Fault Lines: Addressing Systemic Vulnerabilities, will focus on methods to identify systemic weaknesses and highlight tools and policies that can empower all communities, and particularly the ones that are most vulnerable, to address those weaknesses and become more resilient. By bringing hindsight to the table to assess how preparedness and response efforts have fallen short in the past, we can create collective foresight that allows us to anticipate, address, and stabilize current fault lines to prevent them from shattering communities.
