A new study has tried to answer these questions by using MRI scans to look at multiple organs of people hospitalized with COVID-19. UW Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics Daniela Witten comments on the study.

“Treating these (wildfire smoke events) as exceptional events, that implies they’re unusual. But they’re getting to be so common that from a protecting public health view that doesn’t make sense,” said DEOHS and Biostatistics Professor Lianne Sheppard.
