for the the you who may not know, johns hopkins medical schools located in east baltimore, which is one of probably the worst slums in america, if not north america and it was a real shock to me because i'd grown up in canada and kind of candidate had sort of a deep level of investment in its people, universal healthcare, universal childcare, paid sick leave, vacations, heavy investments of public art and infrastructure. i grew up in montrÉal and what i got to east baltimore at us all the conditions, i was really quite shocked. it triggered this thinking in my head that in the u.s., where you live ultimately cheaper health more than any of your genetic factors? i got interested when i graduate medical school and then i went through studies in policy, i get interested in how do you illustrate these differences between neighborhoods and the impacts, the ultimate cumulative impacts on people self? using technology. at the time this was in the early 1990s, geographic information systems were just sort of coming online and i cut it got hooked on gis. if we can bring up the slide, i just

hosted by the johns hopkins school of public health it live coverage around he's been to. >> it is a combination of protection in their age group that has seen the related strain of [inaudible] but [inaudible] also now look at historical tenements from 1890 to 1918 to 1,962,009 and they're all different. they share pictures and come at odd times and come in the summer and the effect more of the younger population but they are quite different and that means for the future we need to have systems to have technology information and what it looks like. >> david, in 1918 there were no pharmaceutical interventions available to help expand the pandemic. we now both antivirals and vaccines, though as tony mentioned, their efficacy is not as high as we like them to be. could you talk about the influence of vaccine history and where i see the field going in the near future to try to improve the tools we had to deal with the pandemic. >> i think back in 1918 as jeff pointed out they were already working on vaccines. mistakenly working on a vaccine for a bacteria and it wasn't until 1931 that it

from university of pennsylvania from johns hopkins in american history and mother of three children and a longtime resident with the of the more is the focus of my question tonight one of the schools very recently i may occasionally stretch my boundaries a little bit. said to have a lot to teach of those complexities as you note doing this work feels like the bottom of the ocean with your feet tied together with your hands and cuffs to figure that out so this is how she figured it out. so semantics' right away what exactly is a charter school how does that differ from a traditional public school?. >> charter school is a public school that is free from the bureaucracy and labor contracts on the other. and with teaching and learning in district schools are subject to twenties -- 25 regulations and to order schools are regulated at about 10. so it is regulated to health and safety but otherwise you have freedom to innovate. >> just to go back in time a little bit how you embark on a political career and to his chair the education committee and essentially that the point that you decided ch

even a graduate-- eva moskowitz as a ba from the university of pennsylvania and a ba from john hopkins in american history and is the mother of three children and a longtime harlem residents. her new book will be the focus of my questions tonight, but full disclosure, i visited one of her schools recently so i may occasionally stretch my boundaries a little bit. eva moskowitz's book has a lot to teach about the complexities of running a school. i quote doing this work feels like you are genie at the bottom of the ocean in a lead box with your feet tied together in your hands and cups. let's not find out-- let's now find out how eva figured it out. was get semantics over with right away. with the charter school and how does it differ from traditional public schools? >> charter school is a public school that is free from the bureaucracy on one hand and the labor contracts on the other hand and it allows you to make decisions based on teaching and learning. it's not unregulated. i would like to say the district schools are subject to about 20 volumes of regulation and charter schools are

in any event, "days of slaughter" is not a bad title and lots of rat on the cover which john hopkins chose. it's actually very appropriate because a lot of it was built. we are talking about resiliency of community. it does not mouse a little bit more about the miss that guess who is hurt the most, the weakest families and the weakest communities, primarily financially vulnerable, but also in terms of social capital and opportunity. so much of what was going on was very much a focus on getting more and more people into homes, chop one for us and very important. everyone here lives in a home and it's super important. homeownership is a phenomenal thing and what we want is resilient homeownership simply to get a home is really not resiliency and is very damaging to people in communities and the economy. one year ago the u.s. homeownership rate sent to us lowest level since 1965 the lowest level since 1969 but written in push a major focus to ask and homeownership. these were highly sought after goals from a very noble goals, very important goals and that's the saddest thing the very pe

but in any event, "days of slaughter" is not a bad title and lots of red on the cover which johns hopkins chose, is actually very appropriate because a lot of red ink was spilled. one of the saddest outcomes, since we're were talking about resiliency of communities i think is so sad and i will say more about this, is that just to assert the most, the weakest, families and the weakest communities, the most vulnerable communities. i mean primarily financial gullible but interim the social capital and opportunity, so much of what was going on when i was at freddie mac was very much a focus on gosh, getting more and more people into homes. this was seen as job one for us and very important. i live in home and everybody here, hopefully, liz and hope. it's super important. but home ownership is a challenging thing. what we want is resilient home ownership, sustainable homeownership. simply to get a home and then to lose it a few years later, that is really not resiliency and is very damaging the people and their communities and the economy. one year a copy is homeownership rate use homeownershi
