Working in coal mines might make people more susceptible to serious complications from COVID-19. Larissa Casaburi, a researcher in the WVU School of Medicine, is using artificial intelligence to study how being a coal miner affects COVID-19 outcomes. She's also investigating the ways smoking, vaping and having a chronic lung condition influence how COVID-19 patients fare.
