In this #Covid Webinar, Shardool Katyayan of Newslaundry hosts professor and researcher Dr. K Viswanath to help get clarity on how to prepare for the #thirdwave, misinformation around the #coronavirus, and dangers of lack of data.
Calling for collective action from the public in taking precautionary steps, #governments in promoting #publichealth mitigation and hospitals in preparing for potential surges and patient influxes, Dr. Viswanath says, “this is not going anywhere anytime soon”. He adds that while the spread of infection is inevitable, it is in our hands to minimize the effects.
Dr. Viswanath addressed the issue of inequities in the context of vaccines, treatments and access to resources during this crisis. He says, “political willingness” and the preparedness to do more is the only way we can navigate through these inequities.
