<p><strong>COVID-19!</strong> Many are panicking, some are protesting, but not many of us really know what we're talking about. Luckily for you, Dr. Abdu Sharkawy, who without a doubt <em>does</em> know what he's talking about, has graciously joined us to share his thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic.</p> <p>Currently working as an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine and as an Infectious Disease Specialist at the University Health Network - North America's largest health research organization - Dr. Sharkawy has previously volunteered with Doctors without Borders, the United Way, and Amnesty International. Since writing a viral Facebook post titled "I am not scared of COVID-19" currently at 1.9 million shares, his expert opinion on the pandemic has become widely sought after and been covered by national media outlets.</p> <p>From the genesis of the virus itself to its potential impact on our infrastructure and healthcare system, no stone is left unturned in this topical (though hopefully not for much longer) episode of Art of Impact.</p>
