How can excess mortality help determine whether countries or regions performed ‘equally well’ during the pandemic? Can it provide insights into what strategies worked—or didn’t—during the crisis? Despite delays in obtaining mortality data, how can excess mortality be used to track health emergencies in real time? Finally, what key recommendations should guide those using excess mortality as an outcome measure? Join us for this insightful conversation to better understand the critical role of excess mortality in shaping public health decisions and pandemic evaluations.

COVID-19 has shed a new light on why workers are essential for our everyday life. They kept going to work for the rest of society not to completely collapse.

Chan School of Public Health), Francisco Diez (Center for Popular Democracy), Ashley Gates (United for Respect), and Marcy Goldstein-Gelb(National Council for Occupational Safety and Health).

On March 18, two months after its installation, the new US Presidential Administration achieved the symbolic mark of 100 million vaccine shots. The vaccines are safe, but the speed of vaccination has been slowing down across the country. There is a tendency to assign the slowdown to a lack of confidence in the vaccine. But there is also evidence that former vaccine hesitant have changed their minds. Have we reached the vaccine rollout tipping point? What is the best strategy to get the largest possible coverage? I am discussing these questions with Mike Fraser, Executive Director of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and with Professor David Broniatowski from George Washington University.

Submissions to AJPH related to the on-going pandemic reveal the disproportionate risks undergone by essential workers, minorities, incarcerated persons, immigrants, persons with disabilities, homeless persons, and other populations made vulnerable by their social and economic position and/or simply because they are discriminated against.

Their message is: Congress needs to quickly require OSHA to pass an infectious disease standard to protect health care and other workers exposed to Covid-19. A draft of the standard exists.

Will it continue to grow incrementally or are we on the brink of a profound transformation in which all of the existing financing institutions are canceled and replaced by a single system?

"Our Bodies, Ourselves" was conceived in 1969 as a self‐help guide about health written by women for women. Most of the listeners who were at least teenagers in the sixties are familiar with the book but younger people are less likely to have ever read it, perused it, or even seen it. So is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" history or does it still have a role to play in today’s world?

Who are the health care workers? How prevalent are low wages and poverty among them? Is the culprit the health care industry or more generally gender and racial inequity? Finally, if the minimum wage was raised to $15 per hour, what would be the impact for health care workers, and also for US workers in general.

The dramatic epidemic of opioid addiction and death by overdose has obscured the fact that millions of people suffer from pain, need to be treated, but are denied access to care.
