SHP faculty to Teach Students How To Build COVID-19 Mathematical Projection Models for Policymakers
Jeremy Goldhaber-Fiebert and Jason Andrews are teaching a new course, Models for Understanding and Controlling Global Infectious Diseases, to enable students to become critical consumers of studies using infectious disease modeling and to learn the building blocks for constructing infectious disease models themselves.
Paul Wise: When Pandemics Come to the Slums
Slums provide uniquely challenging conditions for containing the coronavirus and confronting the threat of COVID-19. There may be no ambulances. No hospitals. No tests. No or few police. Only some of the most densely populated places on earth. When COVID-19 reaches the world’s slums, few policy options are available; and those that exist often entail hellish bargains with the criminal groups that so often rule such areas.
We are working with colleagues around the world to address prevention, preparation and services for Covid-19 in areas with weak governance and inadequate health systems.
Paul Wise
Professor of Child Health and Society
SHP Masters Student Eli Cahan writes in this VOX article that hospital support staff must sometimes rewear contaminated gear and don’t always feel comfortable advocating for themselves.

How Can a Democracy Effectively Respond to COVID19 Lessons from Taiwan
Bendavid & Bhattacharya Ask: Is the Coronavirus as Deadly as They Say?
There’s little evidence to confirm coronavirus would kill millions without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines—and projections of the death toll could plausibly be orders of magnitude too high.
Questioning Conventional Wisdom of the COVID-19 Crisis
Stanford Health Policy's Jay Bhattacharya questions the premise that coronavirus would kill millions without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines.
Jason Wang is conducting two surveys on adherence to the orders and guidelines nationwide to stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. One looks the remain-at-home behavior itself — including hygiene and social distancing — while the other evaluates at-home education for school-age children. He intends to publish the findings to help inform policymakers, planners and educators.
