All you ever wanted to know about COVID-19 and may not have heard yet from other sources.
We are bombarded with information on the pandemic by NGOs like the WHO, national and provincial governments, and other experts (or ‘experts’). This is your opportunity to hear from Dr. David Fisman, an award-winning University of Toronto tenured professor of Epidemiology and infectious diseases – including the math and modeling behind them and the decision-making and cost-effectiveness analysis required to respond to threats and in-process epidemics and pandemics.
Dr. Fisman will be fresh from a tour in the ICU of a Toronto hospital and is current with global developments.
