COVIDcast Episode 8: All about COVID-19

Coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, are unlike anything our health care systems have seen before. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Chris Mody, head of our Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Infectious Diseases, about why COVID-19 is such a threat to our health-care systems, how it attacks our bodies, what makes it different from other viruses, and why it's so challenging to develop a vaccine. *Recorded on March 26, 2020.
