Strategies To Help The Most Vulnerable To Stay Disease-Free

The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) for the COVID-19; Coronavirus disease is not particularly high. In other words, the number of people actually dying from the disease is relatively low as global pandemics go. But this fatality rate goes up when we consider people with other conditions.

In this discussion, we investigate what these conditions are and we will also discuss strategies to help those who are most vulnerable to stay disease-free as they ride out the escalation of this global pandemic.

We are joined by a panel of esteemed medical professionals including Dr. Elon Thompson, president of the Jamaica Medical Doctors Association, Proprietor and CEO of Cumberland Medical Dr. Kurt Waul and Immunologist Dr. Yohan White.
