Today we have the moms. The heartbeat and bosses of the household. How has the COVID pandemic affected them? Whats their take on working from home while home schooling? How will they feel comfortable returning to school? More on this when you tune in.
This is the first installment in a series of episodes focusing on the problem and confusion surrounding school openings. There is conflicting data, conflicting opinions and lots of emotions. In this series I will speak to all groups involved. The students, the parents, school administrators, the teachers, pediatricians and child development specialists. Let's find out the risks here and whats actually at stake from those that are actually living it.. Tune in weekly for each episode.
Ever wonder why people seem to be ignoring the facts behind masks and adamantly refuse to wear them? Curious how you can try to get past the impenetrable barriers they put up in regards to their views? What is the deal with the mainstream spread of these bizarre conspiracy theories? I sat down with two clinical psychologist PhDs to discuss.
This is a great one. Sports have reopened. We have a semblance of a return to normal. I was joined today by World Series Champion and Nationals closer Daniel Hudson and the new head team doctor for the Atlanta Falcons Dr. Destin Hill. We talk sports reopening, life inside the mlb quarantine, the projected guidelines for the NFL and the NBA bubble. Sports often have a very uniting force across the US and this is a huge step back towards the New Normal. I am also joined by long time valley podcasters Jared Cohen and Frank Levandowski III who provide great insight on the impact of sports. Try not to miss when Frank compares Dak Prescott to Lebron James.
Today I was able to chat with Suyash Gupta, an international student who was one of the early people afflicted with Covid -19. We discussed his quarantine, transmitting it to his father and how, because of his illness, he is able to help those currently sick with the virus.
I was able to catch up with a friend of mine, an ED doc in Texas. With a COVID-19 wave quickly approaching his city, what is he doing to prepare?
Part 2 dives into the statistical disparity unfolding when examining hospitalization and death rates. We then dive into the health and socioeconomic factors that are potentially driving this trend.
Welcome to the pilot episode of the Welfie Podcast: a wellness series! In part 1, we discuss what providers are seeing across the country. The emotional and physical toll it has taken on us and our patients, respectively and the uncertainty behind, as Danny put it, not knowing what we don't know. In part 2 (coming soon), we will examine the racial disparity we are seeing in COVID-19 and tackle the socioeconomic and medical reasons behind the findings.
