Coronapod: Waiving vaccine patents and coronavirus genome data disputes
In surprise news this week, the US government announced its support for waiving patent protections for COVID-19 vaccines, in an effort to boost supplies around the world.As fewer than 1% of people living in low-income countries have received COVID-19 vaccines, it is hoped that this move is a major step towards addressing this inequity by allowing manufacturers to legally produce generic versions of vaccines. We discuss the next steps that need to be taken to make this a reality, and why there is opposition to the plan.Also on the podcast, we look at another aspect of coronavirus inequity: the sharing of genomic data.

Wellbeing - Humanising medicine
In medicine, a lot of work has been done to encourage person centred care - but can that maxim be extended to the people working within the healthcare system?
Subodh Dave has just been elected as dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and joins us fresh from talking at the International conference on physician health to speak about his ambition to humanise medicine.
In this podcast, Subodh, Abi and Cat discuss what lessons from the pandemic need t o remain, why at this time it's really important to look out for your colleague with family overseas, and how ice cream trucks meant much more than a cold treat.www.bmj.c...

Coronapod: A whistle-blower ’s quest to take politics out of coronavirus surveillance
Rick Bright exposed former president Trump's political meddling in the US COVID response. Now he is championing a new privately funded initiative to track viral spread and combat new variants. We discuss the challenges of collecting data on a rapidly spreading virus, from transmission dynamics to genomic surveillance. We also ask why a veteran government scientist like Bright, the ex-director of the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, would take a new path in the private sector.News Q&A: Pandemic whistle-blower: we need a non-political way to track virusesNews: Why US coronavirus t...

Noninvasive Ventilation of COVID-19 Patients
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may help COVID-19 patients in respiratory failure avoid invasive mechanical ventilation but may also lead to delays in intubation with potential for worse clinical outcomes. Domenico L. Grieco, MD, of Fondazione Policlinico Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome, Jesse B. Hall, MD, of the University of Chicago, and Laveena Munshi, MD, MSc, of Sinai Health System/University Health Network of the University of Toronto join JAMA's live Q&A series to discuss helmet NIV, high-flow nasal oxygen, and other NIV modalities in the management of hypoxic coronavirus patients.
