Show Notes
Independence Blue Cross presents The Long Haul: Learning to Live in a Lasting Pandemic, a special pandemic mini-series from KYW Newsradio In Depth. In the third and final part of our series we talk with Dr. Brian McDonough, KYW Newsradio's Medical Editor. We ask him to break down the new experimental treatments from Merck and AstraZeneca, and to explain what monoclonal antibodies are and how they work. Plus, we hear his thoughts on the safety of those treatments vs. the safety of the vaccine, and what he tells patients who are hesitant to get vaccinated. Finally, we end with his predictions for the future of this pandemic - both for the winter and long-term.
