Dr. Matija Snuderl, a neuropathologist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, has spent the last couple of months poring over tissue and blood samples preserved from autopsies in an effort to identify any potential COVID-19 cases that were overlooked. Across the country, doctors like Snuderl are working to better understand the early trajectory of the virus, in hopes of discovering unseen patterns that could help inform future public health policies. “I think if we better understand how the disease was spreading early on, when the next thing like this happens, we're going to be better prepared, and we're going to be able to act, hopefully, faster,” Snuderl said. |
