We have known for centuries that hand washing is essential in reducing transmission of illness and bacteria.
Imagine a world where a single virus changes everything—schools close, businesses shutter, and life as we know it is upended. In this episode of 'This Pathological Life', host Steve Davis and pathologist Dr. Travis Brown take a deep dive into COVID-19, offering a well-rounded snapshot of the pandemic from pathological, epidemiological, and immunological perspectives. They’re joined by special guest Dr. Daman Langguth, an expert in immunology, who shares his invaluable insights on the virus's behavior and impact.
The episode kicks off with a discussion on how different countries are handling the pandemic, exploring why some nations have fared better than others. Steve and Dr. Brown dissect the virus's transmission methods and offer practical tips on how simple actions like hand washing and surface cleaning can make a significant difference. They also touch on the intriguing loss of smell experienced by many COVID-19 patients and delve into how the virus interacts with animal models.
As the conversation progresses, they tackle the severe complications that can arise post-infection, such as multi-system inflammatory syndrome in both adults and children. The hosts explain the peak infectivity period of COVID-19 and why understanding this timeline is crucial for controlling the spread. Vaccines are another major focus. The episode breaks down the science behind mRNA technology used in vaccines like Pfizer and AstraZeneca, comparing their efficacy and potential future applications. Steve and Dr.
Brown also discuss the concept of herd immunity and why it might be an elusive goal this year.
