Full Show Notes (Timestamps)

Speaker 1: (00:50)
So this is now our six months in a world with COVID-19, which is just amazing. What is new in terms of testing at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for COVID-19?

Speaker 1: (02:23)
It has the potential to really help a lot of patients, if you can show that giving convalescent plasma is going to be helpful to our patients struggling with COVID-19.

Speaker 1: (04:04)
So as chair for our department, what are some of your considerations now when balancing the huge volumes of COVID testing we're doing with all these other necessary laboratory tests?

Speaker 1: (08:16)
How has that impacted our laboratory operations and being able to provide that critical testing for our patients?

Speaker 2: (09:37)
COVID-19 is still clearly ravaging the globe. I think there'll be a renewed focus to make sure that access to both the diagnostics and the care is equitable across this country and across the world and on the heels of that, to really address some of the health care disparity issues that need to be addressed. So as painful as it is, the only way we can make meaning out of that pain is to actually understand the source and to really drive and make meaningful changes.
