Axiom Town Hall Covid-19

This is a video Town Hall of oncologists who specialize in lung cancer to allow them to discuss their best strategies for contending with the COVID-19 outbreak and providing care for their patients. The most compelling and important testimony is provided by Dr. Marina Garassino of Milan, Italy. She focuses on the importance of a strategy for dividing hospitals into COVID-positive and COVID-negative sections and for allowing some cancer patients to stay at home because they do not require intensive care. She also focuses on problem in Italy of only testing symptomatic individuals for the virus. This is a problem being repeated in the U.S. at this time.
