We, along with CFA Society Toronto, are happy to bring back a no-nonsense crowd-pleaser: Dr. David Fisman, a Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Toronto who has spoken to members twice. In this iteration, he will present timely updates on COVID-19 and its spread as well as do a little myth-busting so that viewers can be better armed when seemingly odd news might come their way (i.e., WHO ‘statement’ around asymptomatic transmission).
Join us for this informative hour and get your questions answered along with dozens of other participants.
