Dear reader,

‌

COVID-19 has already inflicted a staggering level of suffering, with 83 million cases and 1.8 million deaths worldwide, and it shows no signs of slowing.

‌

As the U.S. and other countries announce new stay-at-home orders and vaccination plans, what will 2021 bring?

‌

Join HuffPost medical contributor Dr. Kavita Patel and senior wellness editor Lindsay Holmes at 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 14, for a discussion about a new year with the coronavirus. They’ll talk about the vaccine rollout, when schools and businesses might reopen, and if life will return to normal.

‌

There are many questions about the impact of COVID-19 in the next 12 months. What are yours? Please bring them and ask our speakers during the event.

‌

While many of our events are ticketed or open to members only, we’ve decided to offer this event for free to everyone because it is such an important public health topic.

‌

Warmly,
