Dr. Fisman COVID19 Update Series: The Turning Point & Surprising Connections Across the Globe
Overview
Join us for the 6th instalment of our fireside chat between James Burron (President, CAASA) and Dr. David Fisman (Professor of Epidemiology, University of Toronto).
Everyone has read/viewed a copious amount of news and views about COVID-19 over the last 9 months and in this, installment of Dr. David Fisman’s talks on the disease and its effect on the world we will delve into the next legs of it and how to keep one’s head in the game.
First, we will discuss his well-researched point of Peak COVID (hint: it’s in 2021) and how the world might change (or evolve) going forward.
Second, Dr. Fisman will illustrate and explain the dispersion of infectious diseases in various populations that one might otherwise see as simply spurious correlations. (Knowing this might make doing the ‘right thing’ easier as it shows how an ounce of prevention and common sense really does block transmissions.)
This session is open for all members of CAASA. If you are with a member company, please contact us for access to the registration page as a member.
