I kick off the episode with a major personal announcment. CAN YOU GUESS? Oh boy.
I then welcome Dr. Monica Gandhi, medical doctor, infectious disease expert with a massive Covid Twitter following.
- Dr. Gandhi and I start disucssing how her HIV background helped shape some of her Covid philosophies.
- We then segue to when Covid came on her radar and the cycle of severe disease.
- We discuss the polarizing politcial reactions and OVER-reactions to Covid. Was it ok to take off the mask for a while? We discuss vitriol from fellow Democrats. I give an umbrella analogy around mask wearing.
- Then of course, we discuss the DELTA VARIANT as public enemy #1, understanding recent CDC messaging, and the interpretation by vaccinated folks.
- We talk about how vaccines work, understanding effectiveness, and Covid risks in 2021 versus 2020.
- Vaccine side effects
- When will we see Delta go away and what is that based on?
- How does Delta effect young children? What should schools look like in the fall?
- Will variants evade vaccines in the future? What will Covid look like in 2 years? Should we worry about long COVID?
