Description
Only a handful of people have as much responsibility for overseeing U.S. response to COVID-19 as Dr. Anne Schuchat, Principal Deputy Director at U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and few can match her three decades at the CDC fighting infectious diseases, from AIDS, to Swine Flu, to Ebola. In this insightful interview with Dr. Rishi Desai, she cautions about the accuracy of antibody tests, supports a regional approach to easing social distancing, previews the use of census takers as contact tracers, and encourages young people to join the fight against the coronavirus and pursue a career in public health.

Getting More Health Out of Healthcare - Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: If the U.S. healthcare system was a patient right now, you'd probably put it in the ICU. In the view of Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Vice Dean at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and host of the "Public Health On Call" podcast, the COVID crisis has exposed weaknesses in the way we finance healthcare and it could either derail existing efforts to reform the system, or it might spur change. In a wide-ranging discussion with host Shiv Gaglani, this influential national voice provides insight on contact tracing, the need for a public health service corps and the impact COVID-19 is having on the opioid epidemic. by Raise the Line
