This is a presentation from the 2021 Critical Care Congress held virtually from January 31-February 12, 2021.


Learning Objectives

  • Identify government and public health directives and policies that have proved effective at managing dangerous spikes in hospitalizations and controlling community spread of infection during New York State’s response to recent measles and COVID-19 outbreaks
  • Identify the serious threat posed by both targeted misinformation campaigns and public health illiteracy, during both public health crises and “normal” times
  • Identify what federal, state, and local health departments can do to prepare for the next pandemic based on New York State’s experience—lessons from what we got right and what we were unable to stop from going wrong elsewhere in the country
