This episode of Going anti-Viral features an IAS–USA Dialogue titled “Latest Update on Urgent Viral Outbreaks,” a panel discussion held on January 15, 2025. This IAS-USA Dialogue is a must listen as our distinguished panel of infectious diseases experts dives deep into some of the most pressing public health challenges facing the world today. Moderated by Carlos del Rio, MD, a Distinguished Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Emory University School of Medicine, this Dialogue brings together world-class experts Yvonne Maldonado, MD, Peter Chin-Hong, MD, and Jason Zucker, MD, to discuss the latest news on urgent and emerging viral outbreaks, including mpox, avian flu (H5N1), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), measles, human metapneumovirus, and COVID-19/long COVID.

The panel also reflects on the alarming erosion of public trust in public health experts, which has been compounded by misinformation and the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
