Health & Fitness:Medicine
With the Delta Variant surging across the country, rates of COVID-19 diagnoses in children have increased significantly. While the direct complications of COVID are rare in children, the indirect effects are perhaps the biggest threat to the health well-being of children in this country and around the world. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Ramon Gist, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at SUNY Downstate Medical Center to discuss the challenges facing children and families as the pandemic rages on and strategies needed to overcome.
