The Long Aftermath of the 2003 SARS Epidemic: How the Epidemic that Wasn’t Presaged the Epidemic that Was

Dr. Katherine Mason will draw upon insights from her 2016 book, Infectious Change, to explore the connections between the 2003 SARS epidemic and the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic response in China. The talk examines how public health reforms in China following the SARS outbreak laid the groundwork for China's response to Covid. We will consider what lessons can be learned from SARS and from the contrast between China's Covid response and the broader global response over the course of the past year.
