Contact tracing is a pillar of public health, and when done quickly—and correctly—it saves lives. Yale students, who might otherwise have learned about this classic public health intervention in textbooks or lectures, are actively engaged in it, working the phones each day.

We’ve always been challenged to convey the enormity of stress and depression that accompanies poverty. Today, sadly, we have found the perfect way to explain it: What many of us are experiencing is a taste of what poverty feels like.
