Return on Investment From Co-locating Tax Assistance for Low-Income Persons at Clinical Sites

Abstract: Discussion | The current coronavirus outbreak in China is the third epidemic caused by coronavirus in the 21st century, already surpassing SARS and MERS in the number of individuals infected. 1 The higher number of infections may be attributable to late identification of the etiologic agent and the ability of the host to shed the infection while asymptomatic, rather than to greater infectivity of the virus compared with SARS. 3 This case series provides information on the epidemiology of the disease outside… Show more
