COVID-19 Update: November 2020
Dr. Cole has spent the last eight months as the Medical Specialist Advisor in the COVID Incident Command Center for the hospital he works at, and he returns for a November 2020 update about COVID-19. This episode covers a variety of topics:
(3:33) Why we should care about COVID-19 morbidity, and not just mortality
(8:18) How hospitals have responded and what happens when they're overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients
(14:30) What should you do if you had close contact with someone who has COVID-19?
(20:15) What treatment for those hospitalized currently looks like
(22:44) Are doctors and hospitals "getting rich off of COVID?" [Answer: NO]
(25:53) Wear a mask, and continue to social distance
Dr. Cole is most specifically referring to information about northern Illinois, but the vast majority of this information -- including about hospital response -- is relevant to everyone in the United States.
