Episode 65: Physician Perspectives on Reopening the Country

Vincent Rajkumar, MD, and Rafael Fonseca, MD, both multiple myeloma specialists at Mayo Clinic, discuss the prospect of opening the country before a vaccine is developed for COVID-19; whether the decisions should be made on a county-, state-, or regional-level; and the critical need for a “TTP” approach: widespread adequate Testing, contact Tracing, and PPEs.
