From Epidemic to Endemic: Preparing Businesses for the End of the Pandemic
April 13, 2021, 8-9:30 am
This 1.5 hour webinar will provide participants with a contextual setting for the following 5 panel discussions. Using history as a guide, participants will explore past epidemics, how those epidemics impacted society, and how societies adapted to the various germs that caused epidemics and then became endemic nuisances, always on the cusp of causing a new epidemic. Through the examination of the Bubonic Plague, the London Cholera Epidemic of the 1850s, and the early 20th century Spanish Influenza Pandemic, similarities to the current COVID-19 Pandemic will be highlighted and discussed. Using these case studies, participants will identify and discuss ways in which these previous plagues can provide insight into how we must prepare for an endemic COVID-19. This session will then introduce the following 5 panel discussions spanning the rest of the year.
