The COVID-19 pandemic has required us to adjust rapidly to significant changes in our work and home lives. Just as many of us have found a somewhat new experience of normalcy in the midst of pandemic, we are now confronted by the intersection of COVID-19 and seasonal changes that bring increasing experiences of common colds, allergies and influenza, complicating our ability to diagnose COVID-19 and requiring us to again redefine our experience of normalcy. Three experts on infectious disease share the latest research, emerging technologies and new knowledge that is informing the response to COVID-19.
