Hello friends, I'm excited to share the second round of our COVID-19 Q&A with you.

0:05.2

This is a continuation of the last episode where I took questions from newsletter subscribers

0:09.6

around the ongoing pandemic and try to add value by talking about some of the recent research.

0:14.6

Let's talk COVID-19.

0:17.3

Some sources suggest that the case-faitality rate worldwide is on the decline, and that's

0:22.4

great news and probably in a large part explains why we're not hearing as much about COVID-19

0:27.2

right now.

0:28.2

However, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, so I hope that this episode offers some

0:33.6

value in light of that.

0:35.5

It's important to know up front, and I say this emphatically.

0:39.8

The content in this episode is not meant to diagnose any disease and is not intended for

0:44.7

medical treatment.

0:46.0

I am not a medical doctor, and the information I shared is not a constitute medical advice.

0:51.1

My background is in science and not medicine.

0:53.9

With that said, some of the topics that came up as a result of the questions submitted

0:57.9

from the newsletter subscribers include some of the discussions surrounding what we know

1:02.4

about the duration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, whether or not exposure leads to ultimate immunity,

1:08.6

etc.

1:10.2

Some of the main factors known to play a role in immune variation, including what role

1:14.1

genetics may play in immune function, how previous viral exposure regulates immunity,

1:19.6

what cross-immunity is, and how it may play be relevant for SARS-CoV-2.

1:24.3

Anabody dependent enhancement and SARS-CoV-2 relevance, how sleep is a key regulator of
