AsiaSocietyHK's video: Episode 26: Conversation with Prof Keiji Fukuda and Prof Vivian Lin

On January 30, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency on the spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) that originated in Wuhan, China. Healthcare experts have warned that Covid-19 could rapidly spread, if not properly contained, and many governments around the world have begun to take precautionary measures to ensure public health safety. Amid the international concern and heightened fears about the disease, what is fact and what is fiction? The Asia Society Hong Kong Center brings you regular updates on the coronavirus story in Hong Kong that has reverberations elsewhere in the world. We are pleased to present on-the-ground public health experts and internationally renowned specialists with the latest facts and evidence-based findings regarding this epidemic outbreak. In episode 26, hear from Prof. Keiji Fukuda, Director and Clinical Professor at The University of Hong Kong School of Public Health, and Prof. Vivian LIN, School of Public Health and Executive Associate Dean (Strategy and Operations), Professor of Public Health Practice at The University of Hong Kong. S. Alice Mong, Executive Director of Asia Society Hong Kong Center will moderate the discussion.  Another talking point from the election is the fallout over why the Democrats underperformed so badly in the House races and even within the party itself, internal finger pointing between progressives and centrists has already ensued. Finally, the control of the United States Senate is still anybody's guess and will rest on the results of Georgia's two run-off Senate elections on January 5th of next year. What are we to make of all this political uncertainty in America and what should we expect going forward? With Charlie Cook, Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report and veteran of U.S. election analyses; Christine Chen, founding Executive Director of APIAVote; and Bakari Sellers, who was the youngest African American elected official; we have convened an impressive panel that ensures a balanced discussion featuring a diversity of perspectives that reflect the evolving face of the American electorate. S. Alice Mong, Executive Director of ASHK, will moderate this important and timely discussion.
