Since the Covid pandemic began, his Twitter feed has been an essential resource for his nearly 600,000 followers to watch and understand the emerging literature. In this session, Topol and Bob Wachter will discuss the implications of the current surge, what we can learn from other countries, the efficacy of vaccines and medications, isolation policies, and the prospects for the future.
