Johns Hopkins

Six months ago, Dr. Lisa Maragakis was one of the podcast’s very first guests and she talked about how Johns Hopkins was preparing for an influx of COVID-19 patients. Things have calmed down a bit since then, but cases have plateaued at a concerning level at the same time we’re entering respiratory virus season. Dr. Maragakis talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about ongoing challenges in the hospital with having to conserve PPE and testing, pandemic fatigue, and the importance of getting a flu shot. They also discuss the possibility that vigilant social distancing, masks, and widespread vaccination and masks could help curb flu infections this year, reducing the risks of coinfection and diagnostic complications.

Update on COVID-19 with Senior Director of Infection Prevention Lisa Maragakis

This morning, Maryland officials announced 854 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus over the past 24 hours, bringing the total to at least 13,684 patients afflicted with COVID-19.  At least 582 Marylanders have perished so far in the pandemic. There are hopeful signs that the rates of new infections and hospitalizations are leveling off in some of the nation’s worst-affected locations like New York City, Chicago and New Orleans. But hot spots continue to develop around the country, especially in nursing homes.  Last week, a Future Care facility in Northwest Baltimore reported 170 cases.  That’s in the 21215-zip code, which has the highest concentration of cases in the state. Nationally, the US has more than 750,000 cases, equal to the number of known infections in Spain, Italy, France and Germany combined.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports more than 37,000 COVID-19 related deaths in the United States.  The first US fatality was reported on February 29.Today on Midday, updates on efforts to mitigate COVID-19, the outlook for testing, and redoubled efforts of outreach to the African American community here in Baltimore.
