Update: Musings on COVID-19
Imagine what it would have been like, to have lived in 1918. Spanish influenza killed approximately 3% of the worldâs population. Other than the world war, international travel was fairly limited. There was no social media. No flu vaccine. No mechanical ventilators. No World Health Organization.
A century later, weâre facing the next great pandemic. And what have we learned? What do we know?
From the neurologic complications of SARS-CoV-2, to non-infectious consequences, the environmental impact of a pandemic, and lessons learned polio, we hope to leave you with a few important take-home messages, a silver liningâand some food for thoughtâabout the ongoing COVID pandemic.
