Hi! Welcome to Blood Talks!
We are well into the flu season now and with the pandemic that is still going on, it makes things even harder for us as healthcare providers to look after our patients. Hospitals around the world have less resources available to care for the sick as the hospital capacity is already stretched beyond the maximum capacity with COVID-19 patients. In this video, I will provide the similarity and differences between flu and COVID-19 with a touch of common cold.

Welcome to Blood Talks Fam. Blood Talks offers you a peek into how clinical laboratory scientists (CLS) or medical laboratory technologists (MLT) work in a hospital. CLS/MLT hold an important role in the healthcare system, but unfortunately, many people do not know that they even exist, simply because most of CLS/MLT work is done behind the scenes. In this channel, you can find explanations from a clinical laboratory point of view. I hope you enjoy and learn something you did not know before.
