As ID Week 2020 draws to an end here is what I learned:
- Virtual conferences may lack a personal touch, travel and networking experience but they are still effective and engaging, we need to be continuously nimble with our educational platforms
- All policy is health policy
- Addressing health disparities is more important than ever
- Despite an surge in anti-science, expert opinion is invaluable
- The lack of a coordinated response to COVID-19 is a public health dumpster fire
- My colleagues are amazing
- Although we are small in number, the importance (and value) of infectious diseases specialists grows exponentially
See you next year.
