Why are 10% of COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases health care workers? Are we not protecting ourselves well enough? We’re going to tackle this question head on and I’ve asked Dr. Rishi Desai, the former epidemic intelligence officer for the CDC, pediatric infectious disease doctor and current medical director at Osmosis, to give us his opinion.
What the difference between a surgical mask and N95?
Is coronavirus spread by droplet or aerosols?
For those of you who are new here, I’m Siobhan, a 3rd year internal medicine resident working on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic in Canada.
HUGE thank you to Dr. Desai for sharing his thoughts with us!
