The COVID-19 global pandemic has been a particularly challenging experience given the severity of the virus, the evolving health guidelines, and the different policies enacted at the city, state, and country levels worldwide. Agreeing on the baseline facts has never been harder before — especially for public health. On Wednesday, December 14 at 11:00 a.…
