UC Davis Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Dean Blumberg discusses the complications that can arise from contracting COVID-19, as well as the flu. He also talks about whether or not the UC Davis Medical Center is in short supply of personal protective equipment for its staff.

We’ll also touch on how homeless people are experiencing this outbreak, as California Gov. Gavin Newsom has said various times that aiding this community is a priority. He’s said hotels and motels have been secured to provide homeless people shelter.
