Episode Details

Only a handful of people have as much responsibility for overseeing U.S. response to COVID-19 as Dr. Anne Schuchat, Principal Deputy Director at U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and few can match her three decades at the CDC fighting infectious diseases, from AIDS, to Swine Flu, to Ebola. In this insightful interview with Dr. Rishi Desai, she cautions about the accuracy of antibody tests, supports a regional approach to easing social distancing, previews the use of census takers as contact tracers, and encourages young people to join the fight against the coronavirus and pursue a career in public health.
