Are Covid Test Kits Still Effective? Loneliness and the Holidays and The Growth of Materialism

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR MONDAY, DECEMBER 18TH  Many of those government supplied COVID test kits are set to expire at the end of this year. Are they still effective and how can we prevent spreading the Flu or Covid over the holidays? We get some answers from Dr. Iris Gorfinkle – Vaccine Researcher and founder of “PrimeHealth”.  The Holidays can be full of fun with friends and family, but for others it can feel like the loneliest time of the year. We discuss what sort of an impact loneliness can have on our health - and how to address it – with Alfonso Abizaid – Professor of Neuroscience at Carleton University.  And finally - technology has made life easier and more convenient over the past century – but according to research – our personal ‘happiness’ has been on a consistent decline since the 1940’s. We explore the role ‘materialism’ plays in this decline – with Author, Teacher and Activist Jeff Golden.
