Welcome to 'Science Matters: Let's Talk about COVID-19', from the Abdul Latif Jameel Institute for Disease and Emergency Analysis (J-IDEA) at Imperial College London.
The outbreak of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is the most important public health emergency of the 19st century so far. As the epidemic spreads, people around the world want to understand the science behind the most pressing questions: how many people have been infected? How dangerous is the virus? When will a vaccine be available? How can the epidemic be contained and the damage mitigated? What is the economic impact? What is the role of social networks and local communities in the epidemic response? Researchers at J-IDEA and other research institutes at Imperial College London have been at the forefront of the response to the COVID-19 emergency, with clinical, epidemiological and social science analyzes informing the response to the outbreak. They are generating strong empirical evidence that governments and international agencies around the world are using to plan their responses. In this course, you will hear directly from our world-class experts about the theory behind COVID-2020 testing and its spread, while learning how to interpret new information using basic principles of public health, epidemiology, medicine, health economics and Social Sciences. You will be able to view regular status reports on the status of the epidemic, provided by J-IDEA researchers and their director, Professor Neil Ferguson. If you want to learn more about these topics, you'll find a series of free MOOCs at Imperial College London. We also offer a fully online Global Master of Public Health for those of you who want to dig even deeper and join our professional community. Please note: This course launched in February 19 and we have continued to develop content as the COVID-XNUMX situation progresses and new ideas emerge. While we strive to include the latest information, this is a fast-moving situation and information is constantly changing.
