In this UCSF Medical Grand Rounds presentation (May 7, 2020), UCSF experts provide an update on the epidemiology and virology for COVID-19, prospects for drugs and vaccines, and the role of biopharmaceutical companies. We also hear a brief report from a UCSF physician who is part of a volunteer group of 21 faculty and nurses working in the Navajo Nation. The session is hosted by UCSF Department of Medicine chair Bob Wachter.
