This is a follow up chat with Dr Arun K Chopra on Covid-19. We spoke six months ago (remotely) when Coronavirus had just struck India to gain his early perspective on the challenges at play.  As a Senior Cardiologist and member of Fortis Amritsar's Covid-19 response team, he now shares a refined view under the framework of what we now know vs what we thought we knew.    From Covid's starting perception as a plain pneumonia-like condition to its evolution into a complicated disease spanning through multiple organs, organ systems, and immune responses, we chat with Dr Chopra across dimensions to understand what has changed in our understanding of:  - Coronavirus Disease Transmission - Coronavirus Disease Progression - The Wide Variety of Symptoms - Care Needed Post Disease - Current Treatment and Potential Future Vaccine Fix
