Corona Calls

Corona Calls for 01.29.2024 – Riding the Wave

An episode devoted exclusively to answering questions from the audience, including:

  • How long *before* testing positive might someone be contagious?
  • How much immunity do newborns have?
  • How do you check the certification on a KN95?*
  • Will there be a Spring booster for people at high risk?
  • What lessons should we learn from the COVID response?

*Doctor Swartzberg adds this correction and addendum to his comments on looking up the certification of masks marketed as meeting the Chinese KN95 performance standard:

“NIOSH and the FDA approve N95 AND KN95 masks. […] The KF94 from Korea is FDA approved.  One should make certain it is not counterfeit.
