Contagion: Ebola Facts and Fiction
West Africa is currently under the largest Ebola outbreak in history. While fleets of brave health care workers rush to the front lines to help beat back the epidemic, we in the states are left wondering if and when the virus will make its way to us in great numbers. These concerns range from the measured ("We should probably start screening flights from affected areas") to the insane ("We should quarantine New York!")
The Washington Global Heath Alliance and CodeMed want to help educate the public and debunk irrational fears with a panel of experts who certainly know more than your reactionary mother-in-law. These panelists include oe DiCarlo, Director of Emergency Relief & Global Security, Medical Teams International, and Dr. John Lynch, Harborview Medical Director for the Infection Control Center.
Contagion: Ebola Facts and Fiction, Tue, Nov 4, 6:30–9pm, Town Hall, 1119 8th Ave, $10
