Join Harvard's Davis Center for an online talk with Alexandra Vacroux, executive director of the Davis Center, about Russia’s response to the coronavirus. Joshua Yaffa, Moscow-based staff writer for The New Yorker, will describe what the pandemic looks like on the ground and how Muscovites are coping. Salmaan Keshavjee, professor of global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School, will analyze Russia’s response in light of his years of experience fighting tuberculosis—another highly contagious disease—with Russian doctors across the country.

The event can be streamed live on Facebook.
