From the onset, medical experts warned that patients with pre-existing conditions are more vulnerable to infection from the COVID-19 Coronavirus. On today’s show, discover how COVID-19 is impacting patients treated in the area of medicine known as cardio-oncology. We’ll also learn how recovered patients can make a difference in COVID-19 treatment and research by donating convalescent plasma. Later, we’ll hear about a project aimed at getting people to mask-up when going out in public. Discover more about the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, inside this edition of CTSI Discovery Radio!
