In this episode, we join forces with Pitt’s Center for Bioethics & Health Law to present a special Medical Humanities Mondays panel discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic. Mari Webel of Pitt’s Department of History, Lisa S. Parker of the Center for Bioethics & Health Law, and our own Jake Dechant of Pitt’s School of Nursing address the problems of understanding and dealing with a crisis in which we must always act on partial knowledge, filtering that from a tumult of questionable information and disinformation. We discuss the naming of epidemics, the sacrifices of healthcare workers, the pitfalls of modeling, and our favorite sources of reliable information in this wide-ranging discussion. Don't forget to subscribe to Remains to be Seen!
