WEBINAR: Zoonoses, disasters, and veterinarians…oh my!

Emerging pathogens are center stage these days, but that doesn’t mean that this pandemic is raging on in a vacuum. Hurricane season started June 1 and the Atlantic is just heading into the peak time for storms. What happens if we have a hurricane during a pandemic? What if the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is joined by that recently isolated novel influenza in…China? In these types of crises, veterinarians are integral – but do you know what to do? Or more importantly, not do? What to expect? How to disinfect? Join me for a lively exploration of emerging diseases, disasters, and what to do when…especially to prevent further disease transmission.
