Good Tuesday morning.
Yesterday, two briefings – one in Albany and one in Washington – cast light on the difficulty of delivering complex news to an audience hungry for clarity. For Governor Cuomo, the challenge was to explain why New Yorkers must continue stay-at-home orders in the face of evidence that the “worst is over.” Meanwhile, President Trump tackled the job of praising his virus response in the face of evidence that for the nation, the worst is yet to come.
For those seeking information, today brings two opportunities to learn about advancements in the fight against COVID-19 and programs designed to help your business survive in these difficult times.
Join Johnson & Johnson at Noon today for The Road to a Vaccine to hear about the scientific community’s response to the pandemic and the global work being done to create a vaccine. It will be an 8-part educational series hosted by journalist and author Lisa Ling. Every Tuesday, Ling will be joined by expert Johnson & Johnson guests such as Chief Scientific Officer, Paul Stoffels, M.D., as well as leading scientists, public health experts and community health workers. The show will air live on JNJ.com, Facebook and LinkedIn channels, and via J&J Global Public Health Twitter. After the episodes air, they will be available for viewing anytime at JNJ.com/roadtoavaccine.
