Impact of COVID-19 on Rheumatology Patients: Global Perspectives

After a major event, it’s important to take stock of the causes of such an event, but just as important, on the reactions to it. No other event has challenged humanity in recent memory like COVID-19. Today we discuss the pandemic in relationship to its impact on those who suffer with rheumatic disease and examine the global response. Our guest is Dr. Evelyn Hsieh, MD, PhD, the first author of the paper: Global Perspective on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Rheumatology and Health Equity , which was recently published in Arthritis Care & Research.
