What COVID-19 is Teaching Us About Our Health PH144

Last time we talked about the coronavirus it was our very first Pursuing Health Pearls episode just one day before COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the WHO.Over the past 2 months, we’ve experienced dramatic changes to our day-to-day lives from cancellations of large gatherings, to closures of schools and restaurants, and stay-at-home orders in order to “flatten the curve” and decrease the burden of this disease on our health care systems. We’ve seen the stock market crash and hospitals in places such as New York, Washington, and Detroit collapse under the burden of patients with severe disease due to coronavirus infection. There are now millions infected and hundreds of thousands of deaths across the globe.
