The second of 3 episodes with John Bishara DO, Pediatric Pulmonologist. We get into the meat of COVID-19. Wonder why we are getting so concerned over this when we were not as concerned about SARS and MERS? We talk about it. Want to know how COVID-19 kills and maims people? We talk about it. Want to know the truth about this disease, specifically its affects on children? We talk about it.

Frankly I don’t mind the comments on social media about COVID-19, what I mind is that amateurs with a voice may influence people who then behave in a manner that leads to the infection of a nursing home or the death of a child. The bottom line is that COVID-19 is not a government conspiracy. Period. It is a real disease that is very mysterious in how it behaves and it has killed over 110,000 Americans in just 3 months.

So if you want to learn more, listen and while you do, ask yourself this; if it could save one life, is wearing a mask in Kroger for an hour worth it?

Wear a mask in close and indoor public spaces. Period. Full stop.
