Dr Daniel Griffin MD, PhD - gives an introduction to COVID-19. Dr Griffin is both a Specialist Physician in Infectious Disease and a Research Scientist. Since the very beginning of the pandemic he has been actively involved in the clinical care of COVID-19 patients at every stage - from the community outpatient clinic to the Intensive Care Unit.
Each stage and phase of the COVID-19 disease is explained using his research paper "The Importance of Understanding COVID-19 in Treatment & Trials" – published in Aids Reviews - as a reference, so you will have a good understanding of how the disease manifests itself in your body, how your immune system responds to a SARS-CoV-2 infection, and what treatments should be used at each stage of the disease. We touch briefly on the long term damage done to our bodies by COVID-19.
We also discuss Superspreaders and Superspreader events
