Mesothelioma patients are dangerously at risk due to their diminished health and weakened immune systems. This leaves them vulnerable to the worst impacts of the COVID19. Due to the pandemic quarantine, it can be even more difficult for mesothelioma cancer victims and their families to get access to the care they need. The Mesothelioma Justice Network has compiled the most in-depth online resources nationwide to serve families afflicted with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. https://www.asbestos.net/mesothelioma/patient-timeline/
