SUMMARY:When Fear Goes Viral
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a virus not only threatens our health\, but our humanity? As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues to develop\, the CIUS Center is dedicated to highlighting the importance of compassion\, empathy\, and the distribution of accurate information across our global community. Join the CIUS Center in partnership with the China Institute for a panel discussion exploring the Coronavirus outbreak and the human cost of stigma. \n  \nRSVP HERE  \nSpeakers: \nMuyi Xiao\, Visual Investigations Producer\, The New York Times\nDr. Wan Yang\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Epidemiology\nAndrew Mao\, President\, Wuhan University Alumni Association \nDoors Open – 6:00 PM | Discussion Begins – 6:30 PM\nRefreshments will be available \n\nIn the months since the first cases of coronavirus were reported in Wuhan\, China\, the situation has exploded into a global public health crisis that has claimed over 1000 lives. As the number of infected individuals has continued to grow exponentially and Chinese society has all but ground to a halt\, the world’s critical gaze has turned to China – and to the Chinese people. \nNearly two decades after the outbreak of SARS in 2003\, what lessons have actually been learned? Did early communication failures stoke the flames of pandemic\, or has China’s unique system allowed the government to take unprecedented control? How should international governments react? Where is the public sympathy – global citizens who stood with Haiti after the 2010 Earthquake\, with Paris after the 2015 shooting\, and with Australia during the 2019 wildfires\, but who have been all but absent in today’s growing crisis. \n  \nRSVP HERE  \n\n				\n					\n					\n									\n										Twitter\n									\n								\n									\n										Facebook\n									\n								\n									\n										LinkedIn\n									\n								\n									\n										Like
