Ep19. Virology Series, Part 2: How the Pandemic Infected Our Society

<p>Time for an episode on the coronavirus pandemic! Don’t worry, in this episode we’ll give the virology discussion a break and explore how the pandemic has disrupted our communities. More specifically, we’ll take a look at the housing and eviction crisis as well as changes in primary and secondary education. To do this, we interviewed Tori Tavormina, a public health and business student at Johns Hopkins University who spent some time investigating the housing and eviction crisis in Texas. Phil and Michael will then share some of the lessons they learned about how the pandemic affected housing and education.
