ERIN BROMAGE: COVID-19 MUSINGS
Always defer to the guidance from your local Health Department or the CDC!
What you need to know up front:
I am not claiming to be an expert in coronaviruses, medicine, or preparedness.
I have a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from James Cook University, Australia.
I am an Assoc. Prof. of Biology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where I teach and research infectious diseases and host immune responses of animals.
I get all of my information directly from experts in their fields and from the papers those experts are publishing daily.
I mostly write these articles for my family, friends, and students, who value my advice.
My email is erin.bromage@umassd.edu if you would like to verify the authenticity of my posts.
