Description:	COVID-19 Scientific Interest Group Dr. Viboud is a staff scientist at NIH Fogarty International Center, where she specializes in the transmission dynamics and mortality of infectious disease. Since the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Viboud has helped to lead international efforts to collect and disseminate epidemiological information and predictive models about SARS-CoV-2 to inform the trajectory or the pandemic and the effectiveness of control measures. "We will discuss several population-level analyses documenting the burden and transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 based on the data from the US, China and South Africa. Excess mortality and hospitalization studies will show the direct impacts of the pandemic on respiratory diseases and chronic conditions by geography and age group, which are in part undetected by official statistics. We will also begin to quantify some of the secondary impacts of COVID-19 interventions on unnatural deaths and circulation of other pathogens. We will contrast the burden of COVID-19 with that of past influenza pandemics. We will show how changes in contacts and mobility throughout 2020 have impacted SARS-CoV-2 transmission rates in the US. Finally, we will describe efforts to combine information from multiple transmission models and academic teams to project the long-term trajectory of COVID-19 and the impact of interventions." .
