https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwSeYJnz_48&feature=youtu.be MS Reporter Dom is back, this time for a video call across the pond with Dr. Brandon Beaber, MS neurologist in Los Angeles 🌏 In this episode, Dom asks: what’s the situation for people with MS in the United States during the pandemic? 🤔 Many members of the Shift.ms community live in or hail from the US, and we wanted to hear more about their experiences at this time. In this insightful interview, Dr Beaber talks us through the healthcare system in the US; the impact of healthcare inequality and how this is playing out during the pandemic; and a glimpse ahead to vaccine and antiviral trials across the world. Plus, Dom and Dr Beaber discuss the importance of data sharing initiatives such as the iConquerMS repository that MSers in the US can contribute to. Finally, Brandon shares concerns about the possibility of a ‘second wave’ of COVID-19, and has a message for MSers: don’t panic, but stay informed and prepared in the months ahead.
