From Health Affairs
Dear John,
In a new episode of the Pathways podcast, Avni Kulkarni and Sania Ali
examine how our nation's safety net
is struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for emergency
psychiatric treatment.
This podcast was created by Fellows at the Health Affairs Podcast
Fellowship Program. Health Affairs is accepting applications
for the next cohort of Health Policy Podcast Fellows through March 31.
Surviving Two Pandemics
Richard Sorian begins his Narrative Matters
essay in the March 2022 issue of Health Affairs by expressing his
initial reaction to the emergence of COVID-19: "I survived the HIV/AIDS
pandemic and now this? Two pandemics in one lifetime seemed cruel."
Sorian writes about the struggles with communicating about HIV/AIDS in
media reporting and within the government.
"With AIDS our inability, or unwillingness, to communicate was a major
reason the epidemic was able to take hold in the early 1980s," he
reflects.
Communication failures interfered with the ability of scientists and
public health professionals to respond to the disease and inform the
public about the basics of prevention.
Although he remains hopeful, Sorian closes by making a grave point: "The
response to COVID-19 in many ways has become more dangerously polarized
than the response to HIV/AIDS. And people are dying at much faster rates
during this pandemic."
Listen to Sorian read his essay on the Narrative Matters
podcast feed.
