Every day brings a flurry of new coronavirus headlines and a growing number of cases around the globe. While China remains the epicenter of the outbreak, experts warn of a possible global pandemic that could wreak havoc on health systems and vulnerable populations. There have been only a dozen cases to date in the U.S. and experts say the current risk to Americans is low. But that could quickly change if measures to curb the virus fail. Meanwhile, a barrage of news reports has spurred a wave of xenophobia and racist attitudes towards Asians and Asian Americans. In this webinar, you will hear the latest updates from top experts and a leading journalist tracking the story, providing crucial context and insights for reporting responsibly on this fast-moving public health threat.

Panelists: 

• Emily Baumgaertner, medical reporter for the Los Angeles Times 
• Dr. Seema Yasmin, journalist, author, medical doctor and professor
• Dr. Michael Mina, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of epidemiology at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health
