Explaining a Pandemic to a Reluctant Public

Published: Jan. 6, 2021, 11:30 p.m.

Epidemiologists have appeared on nightly newscasts, radio programs, and commented in newspaper articles for months trying to communicate and explain health guidelines, vaccine information, and other pertinent topics about the pandemic. We invite three hard-working experts to discuss the toll this has taken on them and why COVID-19 health guidelines are so hard to get across. With guests Raywat Deonandan, Epidemiologist, Associate Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, uOttawa; Susy Hota, Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Control and as an Infectious Disease Specialist at the University Health Network in Toronto; and Ashleigh Tuite, infectious disease epidemiologist at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
