Several weeks after world health officials declared the coronavirus a pandemic, 40-year-old Sheri McCaskill decided to apply to a master's program in public health.
The decision, McCaskill said, stemmed partly from the sudden heightened awareness about the importance of public health as the virus spread in the US. "I started to see a lot more happening in the public health realm through news, media and it was everywhere, everything we were hearing," McCaskill told CNN.
