James can still recall meeting her first coronavirus patient. The woman came to her office complaining of lingering respiratory problems though she thought it may be allergies or a cold that she could not shake. James asked a series of questions about a friendÕs travel and advised they should do swab for the virus. The patient was positive. Photo credit: The’ Pham/ Charlotte Observer (used with permission)
