Dr. Benjamin Linas, an associate professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine and an infectious disease physician at Boston Medical Center, spoke with Boston Public Radio on Monday about the coronavirus outbreak in Massachusetts.
"I think the good news is that we're just past — I hope — the peak of the surge," he said. "That being said, what we're seeing is we have flattened the curve, but now we're on a plateau, we're not exactly on a steep steep decline yet, so we're trying to adjust to that reality."
Transmission of the coronavirus is still clearly happening, Linas said, despite our best efforts at social distancing.
"I do want to be very clear though, that I think social distancing is working," he said. "We have to imagine what might the world have looked like, had we not done anything, and I think it would look very different than it looks right now."
