Plyler and Mobula will discuss how our ministry has had to work more in unison than ever to respond in New York, the epidemiology specific to New York, how we have cared for the patients in Jesus’ Name, and a few impact stories from the field. Ben will present on the epidemiology of the virus worldwide, the progress of the outbreak, factors that influence the spread, and outbreak response and strategies for mitigation.
