The new coronavirus disrupted a lot in our lives. But it shouldn't disrupt how we all approach our routine healthcare and wellness visits.

In the seventh episode of "WVU and the Coronavirus," we welcome back Dr. Lisa Costello, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the West Virginia University School of Medicine and the president of the West Virginia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Dr. Costello discusses some of the unanticipated health consequences of living during a global pandemic — not only for children, but for adults and those with special health considerations.

In this interview-driven series, “WVU and the Coronavirus” will examine what we already know about COVID-19, find out the latest information about the virus, explore how RNA viruses like coronaviruses work, and learn how the University community has responded to the global pandemic.

Written by Stacey Elza, Wendy Holdren and David Ryan. Narrated by David Ryan. Sound mixed by Sean Hines.
