The main objective of this research is to examine the clinical course of adult and pediatric patients with COVID-19 disease presenting to BMC and to collect samples for current and future research on COVID-19’s impact of the immune system. The immune system includes specific organs and the actions they take (or their “response”) to help the body resist and fight disease. Understanding how the body handles the virus may lead to new approaches to treatment and vaccines.
