Dr. Alessi welcomes Dr. David Banach, an infectious disease specialist and head of UConn’s Infection Prevention Program, to discuss infectious diseases and their impact, including COVID-19, RSV, and the flu, as well as vaccination recommendations for Connecticut. Dr. Alessi also discusses an article he recently came across that encourages a new baby boom by redirecting funding from childhood programs like Head Start, so parents can stay home rather than work and raise their families; he urges caution regarding its proposals. Additionally, he emphasizes the urgent need to improve maternal healthcare and prevent deaths during childbirth, noting that the U.S. has the highest maternal death rate among industrialized nations.
