'In a war zone': Alex Wong looks back at the Covid-19 pandemic

from Researchers Under the Scope · host Jen Quesnel

Dr. Alexander Wong remembers forcing himself to hide his fear last year, as he treated his first Covid-19 patients. "It kind of felt like we were staring down the bottom of a big gun barrel," said Wong, an assistant professor in the College of Medicine's Department of Infectious Diseases. The virus has killed 546 people in Saskatchewan. In this episode, Wong looks at public health, at politics, and at 'really complicated' decision-making during the pandemic, as Regina's critical-care teams fought to save severely ill patients.
