While cold and flu season may have passed, we at The Sick Times know that COVID-19 spreads year-round. We are preparing for a potential summer wave, spurred by the BA.3.2 variant (or “Cicada”), while also keeping an eye on measles, tick-borne illnesses, and other infectious diseases that may be worth attention.
And we want to help you do the same. This free webinar on April 28 will help you find data on COVID-19 and other pathogens in your area, and interpret those data to inform safety measures for you and your community.
Managing editor Betsy Ladyzhets will share how she writes The Sick Times’ weekly U.S. COVID-19 data updates. She’ll be joined by guests Caitlin Rivers, an infectious disease epidemiologist who directs the Center for Outbreak Response Innovation at Johns Hopkins and runs the outbreak newsletter Force of Infection; and Tea Burns, a nurse and first aid instructor with Action Readiness Collective of NYC (ARC-NYC).
The event will include a panel discussion and lots of time for answering your questions. It will be recorded and published publicly for anyone who can’t make it live.
