In this issue of the Journal, Dr. Sheldon Preskorn presents critical basic information regarding COVID-19, to help all clinicians become grounded in what we know about this otherwise unfamiliar and frightening infectious agent. This important information will be provided by Dr. Preskorn in installments, with the first two appearing in this issue, to be followed by additional columns in subsequent issues.
