answer three questions and get ceme credit and with that cue the intro.

For many of us the entire COVID-19 pandemic has felt like it is occurring at

warp speed. The spread of the virus, the economic

fallout, the chaotic insane Twitter discourse, the rapidly evolving nature of evidence-based

treatment, it feels like a blur. When it comes to COVID, the days may be long, but the weeks go by quickly.

And here we are, months into this pandemic and keeping up with the literature still feels like we're drinking

from a fire hose of new information. So this seemed like the right time to pause and

gather our thoughts in order to present a basic guide to treating patients infected with SARS-Covi2 who are sick enough to come to medical attention.

I'm Dr. Greg Katz. I'm a cardiologist by training and a past core I am contributor in the cardiac realm.

But during the pandemic I've become a COVID doctor by necessity which makes me just

like everyone else on Twitter an experienced non-expert on SARS COV2.

And this is Dr. Marty Freed, leaving the protected cocoon of five pearls with Dr. Schrei Treveti

to join Greg for this really important update on how we're treating patients with COVID-19.

So I had the chance to sit down and chat with Dr Laura Evans about an approach to taking care of COVID patients.

Dr Evans is the medical director of critical care and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington.

She's been both on the ground taking care of COVID patients in Seattle and New York, but also integral in developing

systematic hospital protocols for treating these patients. She is also the former director of critical care

at Bellevue Hospital, where she was in charge of the Ebola response in 2015.

So she's probably the closest thing that there is to an expert on treating a new disease during a pandemic.
