Coronavirus Epidemic Update 29: Testing problems, mutations, COVID-19 in Washington & Iran

Topics include COVID-19 testing problems and shortages in the United States, Mutation of SARS-CoV2, Rapid growth of confirmed coronavirus cases in Iran, South Korea, Washington State, among many other places.

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 Naturally, some videos will contain information that has become outdated or replaced by better information or research.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.

This is the best site covering COVID-19 that I have found. No hysteria and no political baloney. Much appreciated!

[jetssimeone]

I’m a bus driver in New York City I literally feel like it’s just a matter of time.

[stephenhu]

This epidemic will really show everyone how broken our Healthcare system is

[shallnotbeinfringedupon]

There was an article that stated there were cases in Florida and the CDC reportedly told the staff that they needed to " keep silent" until the CDC could "assess" the situation. I think the US should have started preparing the minute it escalated in China.

[tysoncoote]

Please cover Koreas decision to do "drive through " testing, this is a brilliant idea to minimise contact "thumbs up" if everyone thinks this should be adopted worldwide!!

[omi]

Thank you so much sir for updating us. We appreciate your effort a lot.

[BuddTwang]

Taking helm in the ICU: the most important work!

[beamboy]

This the by far the best channel in YouTube to get accurate information on COVID. I was watching the news and I knew everything an expert was saying in terms of mortality rates, age group, vaccines and so on. Amazing. Thanks Doc !

[findmagnet]

Guys, I'm not here to trouble. At this moment, I call on everyone to put aside discrimination and prejudice. We are just people, people who can only live once. Put on your mask to protect yourself and your family. This is a sincere suggestion from the severely affected area.

[rsvzorj]

The US had a lot of time to prepare to, the cdc really fucked up with those faulty tests 😳

[theragingbull]

After weeks and weeks asking for transparency in the numbers from China...We should be ashamed.

[ayael-essawy]

Tourists keep getting infected after travelling to Egypt while the government insists that there is only one case infected inside the country.. I live in Egypt and idk what to do

[susana]

I'm re-listening going back one full month.
Thank you for your time to help educating the public and the medical community.
Stay strong! We need you!

[ezrabaraka]

2 cases in NYC - 1 from Iran and the second is an attorney from westchester county with no known history of travel to an affected area! Community spread has begun in NYC there is probably tons of undetected cases here

[Zelda]

Thank You Dear Doctor, it is very pleasant listen to you, because you explain every things clearly and understandably..., Even when you talk about terrible problems but the timbre and clarity of your voice tends to appease your listener ., Thank You for being , God bless you!

How about the lady from Wuhan that had 2 false negative results and they released her. She went to the mall, went and ate, and went back to the motel, 12 hrs total. THEN they said she's still positive, how worried should everyone be? The mall was extremely busy being that it was a saturday.

[dr.deborahnixon]

This is the best place for dispassionate and scientific information. The real issue is the pressure on our healthcare system, rather than super risk for healthy individuals.
