Dr. Patrick Tang: Pandemic 201 - Lessons from a Global Epidemic and Two Pandemics

Patrick Tang The past two decades have seen a number of outbreaks and pandemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The sharing of data and samples is fundamental to the effective management of global outbreaks. Even in the midst of a public health emergency, numerous impediments - both pre-existing barriers and unexpected challenges - hinder the sharing of information and biological materials. As health care and public health professionals, we all play a role in preventing and stopping outbreaks, and we must identify and work around these obstacles. Dr. Patrick Tang will share his experiences and what he has learned from the frontlines of the SARS epidemic, and the recent influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and COVID-19 pandemics.
