Podcast 257: Here comes the summer after COVID-19
Category: Health
Duration: 00:17:49
Publish Date: 2020-04-06 15:24:20
Description:

Four weeks ago — in early March — I interviewed Dr. Renee Salas about climate change and clinical medicine.

Back in those halcyon days, COVID-19 was very much a gathering storm, but it had not yet slammed into the United States.

Here we are, over 10,000 U.S. deaths later in early April, not having heard of much else but the disease.

I thought to use this interview now, both to give listeners a small break from “The Virus” — as President Donald Trump refers to it — and to remind us how quickly things can change on the planet.

We make mention during the course of the interview of the need to take the lessons from unanticipated disasters. We can only hope that the lessons the present crisis affords us won’t be lost.
