He's a top expert on the primary care of patients with chronic diseases, and a health policy researcher, too. That made John Ayanian, M.D., M.P.P., the perfect candidate to field audience questions about COVID-19 prevention, symptoms, special risks, and much more in a one-hour live interview on March 27. 

He also addressed what health policy experts, researchers and local and state governments can do to address the current pandemic, and learn from it so we can prevent and respond to future ones.
