In the past 4 months, we have seen a rapid increase in detected cases (160,000-170,000) of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world resulting in about 7000 deaths worldwide. As a public health agent, I believe it is important to educate, dispel the myths and equip people on how to better understand the coronavirus and mitigate the spread. To better equip and understand, I invited my dear friend, Ali Abazeed, a Public Health Advisor at the National Institute of Health (NIH), and a former Presidential Management Fellow at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan earning a Master of Public Health and Master of Public Policy in 2017. My goal for this episode is to get us to take this seriously, stay calm, change our lifestyle and to keep hope alive.
