What will the next year bring in the coronavirus pandemic? In this Forum Q&A, Harvard Chan epidemiologist Michael Mina and The World’s Elana Gordon looked ahead: Will the anticipation of an imminent vaccine and “coronavirus fatigue” cause people to become lax when it comes to social distancing and masking? Have public health officials and scientists become disillusioned by the public’s response? With cases surging, how will Americans make difficult decisions about holiday travel and celebrations? And why is rapid testing so critical to controlling the course of the pandemic, even before a vaccine is widely available?
Presented jointly by The Forum at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and The World from PRX & WGBH on December 15, 2020.
