COVID-19 is one of three novel coronavirus outbreaks in the past 20 years that originated in animals. How is the current outbreak similar and different from previous ones? What course will COVID-19 take in Pennsylvania?

IDM’s Amy Hartman will put the current outbreak in perspective with what we know (and don’t know) about SARS-CoV-2. EPI’s Donald Burke will discuss the epidemiological and environmental factors that will shape the likely phases of the COVID-19 epidemic in our region, and how we can prepare for them.
