Almost 17,000 Pennsylvanians have tested positive for the coronavirus and more than 300 people have died from the illness it causes, COVID-19. All of the positive cases and deaths have occurred since the first week in March – a little over a month.
The spread of the virus and fallout from it have resulted in social distancing, stay-at-home orders, loss of jobs, business closures and an economic free fall.
Even though the pandemic has dominated the news for more than a month, many people still have questions about the virus and COVID-19 illness.
Smart Talk has devoted at least one program each week during the current coronavirus emergency to answering medical and health-related questions.
Appearing on Thursday’s Smart Talk is Dr. David Gasperack, DO, vice president and regional medical director, WellSpan Medical Group.
