VIDEO: Harvard Epidemiologist Dr. George Seage Discusses COVID-19 and Real Estate

I’m posting the YouTube video of our fantastic Zoom call on COVID-19 with Dr. George Seage, Director of Infectious Disease Program at Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Seage is the Harvard faculty advisor to the Massachusetts COVID-19 Tracing Program.

Some quick take-aways:

✅ Worst virus outbreak since 1918 Influenza Pandemic (could be worse actually)
✅ Massachusetts is actually not in good shape. We may run out of ICU units and ventilators. 
✅ We won’t be back to “normal” until July-August. 
✅ It will take longer to get back to normal because government leadership won’t take stricter mitigation – he recommends 2 week national shelter in place
✅ Masks and gloves in public but strict social distancing (stay at home) & frequent hand washing remains best
✅ Even when we get back to work and school, there will be flare-ups over 12 months until we get a vaccine. Some cities/areas could go back to lockdown status  
✅ Real estate agents: DO NOT HOLD OPEN HOUSES OR SHOWINGS. STAY AT HOME. If you do so, wear full protective gear and make visitors wear also. 
✅ Attorneys: It’s unreal that you don’t have remote notarization yet. What are these legislators thinking!? If you need to interface with clients, wear full protective gear (mask, gloves). Stay at least 6 ft. away. Wash and disinfect everything after.
