COVID -19… A Physicians Perspective
September 2020
I am writing this as Medical Director of Medipure Pharmaceuticals to provide some of my own perspective to this very unique period in our history.
The WHO declared Covid-19 as a worldwide viral pandemic on March 11, 2020 and in our province (British Columbia) a province wide “state of emergency” was instituted a week later on March 18.
Coronavirus disease is a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. This virus is in the same family as the virus that caused the significant SARS outbreak in 2002-2004.
