I'd write my own update, but this one is perfect. My sentiments exactly. Worth a read because the media and internet are deliberately spreading panic. We are all in this together and absolutely need to slow the spread of this virus, but panicking is not necessary or helpful. Dr Yang is an infectious disease doctor at UCLA and I'd like to thank him for this well written and thoughtful update and Ricardo Miranda for bringing it my attention.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Dr. Jessica Zak originally came to California for her internship and residency program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Upon completion of her residency, Dr. Zak’s sense of adventure, love of sunshine and commitment to helping the children in this community encouraged her to set roots in LA. A summa cum laude graduate from the State University of New York at Buffalo, Dr. Zak completed her undergraduate education in Biomedical Sciences with a... minor in Pharmacology and Toxicology before earning a Master of Science degree in Physiology and Biophysics with a specialization in Complementary and Alternative Medicine from Georgetown University. In addition to working at Westside Pediatrics, she works in the Emergency Room at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, treating and caring for children with colds to critical illnesses when they are most in need. This specialized knowledge and training has allowed Dr. Zak to take a global view when treating each individual patient, combining traditional pediatric medicine with complementary therapies to achieve optimal health in all areas of life including nutrition, lifestyle and disease prevention. Dr. Zak lives by the beach and enjoys exercising and staying active, trying new restaurants and spending time with family and friends. See more
