Flashpoint 12/13/20: How pandemic could change future of the business community from Local 4

DETROIT – The vaccines ride in hoping to rescue a weary world from the pandemic. But it’s more than this current crisis. Are we looking at the future of medicine?

And how does the Detroit business world reconfigure to adapt to the adaptations we’ve all made that may not go away just because the virus does.

It has been a mad dash scramble — and yet it has also been a studied, cool-headed study in solving a problem through science. The vaccines are coming and in just about a year since the appearance of the coronavirus we’ve come to know as COVID-19.

On Sunday, there was a discussion about where we are with Dr. Teena Chopra, a professor of infectious diseases at Wayne State University and also the corporate medical director of Infection Prevention and Hospital Epidemiology at the Detroit Medical Center.

And Ryan Malosh, an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health also made an appearance. He studies herd immunity due to vaccination.
