Coronavirus. COVID-19. Since we last recorded the podcast the World Health Organization has named COVID-19 a global pandemic.   We have previously covered the clinical presentation of the coronavirus in pediatrics and what providers should do if their clinical suspension is high – you can go back and listen to both of those discussions on Season 3, Episodes 31 and 36.   Given the rapidly changing nature of this situation and the virus’ spread throughout our local Colorado communities we wanted to provide you with an update as we move from a containment to a mitigation strategy. In this episode we will cover the current epidemiology of COVID-19, answer listener submitted questions and provide you with resources of where to find ongoing resources.
