Dr. Adam Gaffney on “WSB-TV”

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

PNHP president Dr. Adam Gaffney appeared on WSB-TV (Atlanta) on August 21, 2020 to discuss a new study comparing personal sick days at the height of the first COVID-19 spike to a similar period in 2019. The study found a significant increase in sick days in 2020, suggesting that the official COVID count may be substantially lower than the actual number of cases.

“Illness-Related Work Absence in Mid-April Was Highest on Record” was published in JAMA Internal Medicine on July 27, 2020. Original WSB-TV news story here.
