Deblina Datta is a CDC doctor who researches how infectious diseases make people sick. She has spent decades trying to stop the spread of diseases like AIDS, hepatitis, and polio but says COVID-19 causes more
illness than nearly any other disease she knows.“When I expect this virus to zig, it zags,” Deblina says. “It’s not like you can say, ‘This person was in the ICU, so we knew they were at high risk for long-term debilitating symptoms.’”
Deblina also is seeing progress with COVID-19, including new treatments to save lives. As a vaccine expert, she encourages everyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available to them. More: https://bit.ly/3wZEOir.
