New Approaches to Covid-19: Rapid Testing, Herd Immunity, and the Role of Narrative

Session moderated by Bob Wachter

In this UCSF Medical Grand Rounds, we discuss three new approaches for addressing Covid-19 that are gaining traction. Michael Mina, of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, talks about the evidence supporting the move from highly sensitive PCR-based viral tests to more rapid, cheaper, and less sensitive tests. Trevor Bedford, of the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, describes his theory that, in hard-hit regions, we may be closer to herd immunity than previously thought. Finally, Emily Silverman and Ashley McMullen, both of UCSF, discuss the role of the narrative in deepening our understanding of Covid by giving voice to clinicians and patients.
