Coronavirus Update 27 with Dr. Seheult of https://www.MedCram.com.

A patient in Solano County, California has been diagnosed with COVID-19, and represents a possible "community exposure" to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The criteria for testing and the sensitivity of coronavirus test kits are discussed. A report is reviewed about how a chest CT scan may provide a faster alternative with more sensitivity for diagnosing COVID-19 (versus a blood test: PCR-RT).

We've produced each COVID-19 video with the best information we could access at the time of recording. Naturally, some videos will contain information that has become outdated or replaced by better information or research.

That said, we believe each video contains concepts that have enduring value and reviewing how the response to COVID-19 has progressed over time may be of interest to you as well.
