CERGAS Webinar “Understanding the Covid-19 pandemic through the lens of population health science" in collaboration with Dondena

Abstract

In a few devastating short months in 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic changed global mobility and interaction in ways that were unimaginable to many of the world’s population as recently as in 2019.  Globally, more than 10 million people have, at this writing, been infected by SAR-CoV-2 globally, and more than 500,000 have died of Covid-19.  As our science progresses, it is becoming possible to apply the principles of population health science to help us better understand the pandemic.  What does a formal approach to population health science teach us about Covid-19?  I offer a few observations—a first draft of population health science thinking—as it intersects with the Covid-19 pandemic.
