The coronavirus, SARS-CoV2 and the disease it causes, COVID-19, are more powerful than any locks you have on your exterior doors. We all must be getting tired of sheltering in place, but we will tell you why this is important – what the “curve” is, how we can flatten it and when there may be light at the end of the tunnel. You will hear the latest information on treatment from physicians at the Medical College of Wisconsin to include the first patient enrolled in a new clinical trial of convalescent plasma – Dr. Dave Lal (surgeon turned patient, turned recovered patient and now giving back) donated his blood. Learn how it is being used to help those most in need. Judge Derek Mosley also joins us - he is a kidney transplant recipient, who is recovering from COVID-19. We will discuss how the disease affected him and why he was considered high risk. Then will revisit the important topic of disparities in health care – The Word on Medicine was the first to discuss this and we will have the experts explain what we are doing about disparities in health care in Milwaukee.
