In this release of My First Medical Writing, I have the pleasure to share with you a great article written by aspiring medical writer Shirene Melissa Singh. With over 5 years of experience as a university educator and researcher, she is passionate about writing about infectious diseases, immunological concepts, global health perspectives, and applied research. In this article, Shirene shares not only her knowledge but also her views on the current COVID-19 pandemic, in a very thorough and engaging manner that leaves the reader with a lot of food for thought. It has been a pleasure working with Shirene on her first article in Medical Writing.
