COVID 19 Update: A Look At Timeline and Trends of the Virus With a Focus On Testing Going Forward

In this video, Dr. Randhawa, Founder of the Southern California Food Allergy Institute, updates us on the timeline and trends of the virus here in the United States and how we have handled the virus thus far. The focus of this week’s update is on the importance of testing going forward. Dr. Randhawa dives deep into what tests are available, how they work and what role they play in treating the virus. He teaches us the difference between PCR tests and antibody tests, and explains what steps are involved in achieving accurate testing. Finally, he explains the steps SoCal Food Allergy and TPIRC are taking to open an outpatient testing center, including what these tests will look like and the quick turnaround of results that will occur.

Stay tuned next week, where he will talk about what we all can do going forward, the technology of face masks, and a comprehensive approach to drug treatment if someone should test positive.
