Dr. Mattison is the former Chief Medical Information Officer at Kaiser Permanente. We discuss:
- Definitions of social distancing and social isolation
- How we can support each other to acquire the supplies needed for social isolation
- The sooner we can get into global social isolation, the sooner we can crush this virus
- Minimizing the economic impact of coronavirus
- Nourishing ourselves, friends, families and communities
- The latest news on treatments and prevention of coronavirus
- Where to find accurate information
- Symptoms of COVID-19 and why it’s different from a normal flu
- Importance of developing widespread testing

- Be optimistic: We can heal ourselves and our global community
We can and will conquer this. There is no question that it’s possible. The only question is, ‘How long will it take us?’, and the corollary of that is, ‘How truly and wisely do we transition from no control down to fairly high levels of social isolation across the country and across the planet?’ -John Mattison, MD
