Tony Wafford - President and CEO of the I Choose Life Health and Wellness Center and Rise Above Covid Community Advisory Board member. Tony lost 5 family members to Covid-19. We talk about the racial inequities and the impact on Black communities and the ACTIV-2 treatment study clinical trial that is testing different investigational medicines to determine if they are safe and can help adults with COVID-19 get better.   In April, 2020 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines (ACTIV) public-private partnership to develop a coordinated research strategy for prioritizing and speeding development of the most promising treatments and vaccines. You’ve no doubt heard about the vaccine to help prevent covid 19 infections,  but there is also a need to find effective treatments for people with Covid 19. In this series you'll hear first hand from an infectious disease specialist, a community advisor and a clinical trial participant about the need to diversify the study to help save lives.
