Even a few short weeks ago, who would have thought we’d be wearing face masks and gloves to visit a grocery store? Or that any shopper would sport a get-up like the one in this picture?

Protective gear during coronavirus pandemicCOVID-19 is changing the world as we know it. This coronavirus will change the world for patients with chronic Lyme disease too.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres now warns that with COVID-19, the world faces its most challenging crisis since World War II in terms of human suffering, deaths, and economic disruption.

Patients need treatments and they need them now. The grindingly slow pace of traditional research won’t do. We need guerrilla research that is fast, agile, and “good enough” for now. Research innovation is long overdue. It will benefit all patients everywhere, including those who have Lyme disease.

In a recent Forbes interview about COVID-19, I said, “It is important right now to take the gloves off clinicians and give them access to all available tools; patients are dying and can’t wait for clinical trials.”
