EP4. The Hard Truth about COVID19 with Dr. Raywat Deonandan

Dr. Raywat Deonandan, Epidemiologist and Science Communicator, joined us this week for Episode 4 of Behind The Numbers! Dr. Deonandan specializes in global health and has recently made a name for himself within mainstream media as a COVID-informant / expert-in-the-field. He chats with us about the pros and cons of how the pandemic has been handled so far, the overall need for better communication, and simple ways that all students and professionals within Epidemiology can help our communities. Dr. Deonandan also tells us which areas in global health he thinks will improve post-COVID, as well as why we should not necessarily fear this pandemic but should definitely respect it and continue doing our part in staying safe!
