Off The Page: Covid Writing Goes Viral

How Literary & Social Media Writing Became a Lifeline during the Pandemic.

A conversation with Abraham Verghese, Eric Topol and Danielle Ofri about the role of writing during the Covid pandemic. Social media took on a critical role during the pandemic for sharing scientific and medical information. It was also a lifeline for patients and families. Additionally, the pandemic generated a profusion of deeply moving personal writings. This program is a tribute to the resilience of healthcare workers and patients, and how the pandemic inspired so many to pick up the pen.
