To date, there remains much confusion about when the first cases of COVID-19 occurred in the U.S. This knowledge informs models of COVID-19 transmission and impacts its estimated fatality rate. We employed a differencing analysis on the Current Population Survey (CPS) to examine how rates of absence from work due to illness varied this year relative to last year in key industries. We found that absence from work due to illness was higher in almost all industries during December-March of 2020 relative to the same months of 2019. Our findings imply that COVID-19 was spreading in the U.S. as early as December. They also highlight the fact that labor market surveys, like the CPS, can be a valuable tool for the early detection of illness at a national level. Information from labor market surveys should be used to track and combat COVID-19 and future disease outbreaks.

This article describes the interdisciplinary curriculum of an innovative medical-legal partnership clinic based at Georgia State University College of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. The law school clinic trains law students who work collaboratively with medical residents from Emory University School of Medicine, fourth year students from Morehouse School of Medicine, and masters in social work students, fellows from the university’s masters in public health program and fellows from the masters in bioethics program at Emory University. The article identifies the goals of the clinic and some of the challenges and opportunities in working with diverse professionals in an interdisciplinary educational setting.
