How does the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus invade our bodies? How does it get to the brain? Why do children seem less affected by COVID-19 compared to adults? How effective is hydroxychloroquine (the drug espoused by Donald Trump) in treating COVID-19? These topics, and others, are discussed by Dr. Stuart Williams of the University of Louisville's Department of Physiology and Biophysics.
