A Public Affair

One Year “Post-Pandemic” with Paula Tran


Listen Later

In May 2023, the COVID-19 public health emergency expired. The declaration had previously laid out all sorts of protocols and funding to combat the deadly respiratory illness. The end of the official public health emergency didn’t mean that COVID-19 disappeared. People are still getting newly infected, and millions now suffer from a complicated immune disease called Long Covid. 

Today, host Chali Pittman marks the one year anniversary of the Biden Administration’s declaration that the COVID pandemic was over with guest Paula Tran. She’s Wisconsin’s State Health Officer at Department of Health Services, and the Administrator for the Division of Public Health. She’s the former director of a group at the Population Health Institute that worked to understand root causes of community health. 

Chali and Paula talk about COVID illness, discuss the impact of vaccines and other preventive measures, and dive in to other public health threats as we are all more aware of community health.
