| Description: | Demystifying Medicine
Dr. Fauci will discuss the status of the COVID-19 pandemic; Dr. Taubenberger will discuss the status of the emerging influenza season, as well as the 1918–1919 flu. While COVID-19 vaccines are now being distributed, the worse of the pandemic in terms of death and illness is still ahead of us. Where do we stand with diagnostics and treatments? What challenges require more research? And the flu… remember the flu? That's still a serious concern, too. What can we expect from this influenza season? How close are we to a universal flu vaccine? These and other questions will be discussed. CME credits will be available. These complementary lectures mark the beginning of the 20th year of the Demystifying Medicine course. |
