Broadway musical star Abby Mueller talks with Weill Cornell Medicine experts about the latest developments in the COVID-19 pandemic
Our series with Playbill continues as Abby Mueller, star of Six: The Musical and previously Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, headlines a very different program on Wednesday, April 14 at 6pm: COVID-19: a conversation with Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) experts Gregory McWilliams, MD and Benjamin Scallon, MD about the latest developments in the fight against COVID-19 and how they affect you and your loved ones.
The program, “COVID-19: Where We Are and Care During This Time,” will cover a wide range of topics, including strategies for prevention, and caring for yourself and others--physically and emotionally--during health or illness. Abby and Drs. McWilliams and Scallon will dig deeply into what we know and still don’t know about COVID-19, the importance of testing and vaccination, and activities that you can do safely once you’re fully vaccinated, without wearing a mask or staying socially distanced. They will address critical questions and concerns about the vaccines’ effectiveness overall and against the most troubling variants, how long immunity lasts, and the possibility of reinfection after vaccination.
This free and important presentation is the second in the three-part Q&A series, Centerstage with Healthcare Heroes, which features Broadway stars interviewing WCM physicians about trending topics in health, wellness and COVID-19.
