If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Ciara Dangerfield. Global responses to the COVID -19 pandemic have largely been suboptimal due to significant underdevelopment of infrastructure, human capital, and analytics in pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR). In particular, epidemic nowcasting has been universally challenging because it requires distilling informative or actionable insights from a diverse range of real-world data which are often biased. Misinterpretation, misrepresentation, or otherwise misuse of these nowcasts will fuel infodemics, as we have learned to our detriment during the COVID -19 pandemic. I will discuss some lessons learned from COVID -19 and how we can strengthen pandemic PPR in Hong Kong. This talk is part of the Worms and Bugs series. This talk is included in these lists:
