Covid Pathophysiology Deep Dive, Death Risk and Disease Prevention
In this weeks podcast we go very deep into the world of why Covid19 was able to produce so much mortality in the United States. Why were we so unprepared to survive as a culture? Why is this virus so capable of hijacking our immune physiology for it’s benefit? What are the upstream risk factors for a bad outcome. But most importantly, we learn the immune based reasons why we are at risk at the micro level leading to concrete pathways to undoing the risk.
Diving deep is sometimes necessary to find the treasure below. This week is one of those journeys.
