Show Notes
In May, the mayor of Dallas appointed Dr. Kelvin Baggett as the "COVID Czar." Now, amidst rising cases across the state, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health alum Baggett is tasked with reducing harm and suffering from COVID-19. He talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about his work as COVID Czar, how the city is addressing disproportionate impact on minority communities, and how the pandemic may be helping to elevate critical conversations around health disparities.
