This Week’s Online Coronavirus Policy Updates
Join us today, Wednesday, and Thursday at 2:30 PM CT for our online policy updates. Today, Dr. Ali Mokdad from the Institute of Health Metrics Evaluation from the University of Washington, will discuss his prediction that as vaccinations continue, confirmed cases and deaths will decline into the summer, leading many to assume “COVID-19 is gone,”—but that the current percentage of the population vaccinated is not high enough to stop another wave of infections. Register to join us.
