Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought more media attention to clinical laboratories than at any time in recent history. Today we’ll talk about media coverage of diagnostic testing for COVID-19 with two experts. Some of the questions we’ll discuss include: How has the media coverage of tests for COVID-19 affected the public’s view of these tests? What is the role of social media in talking about testing for COVID-19? How do reporters covering COVID-19 testing work with clinical microbiologists to get the story right?
