How To Stop Living In Fear of COVID (w/Dr. Monica Gandhi)

Our pandemic response has generated untold fear and untold harm to our most vulnerable communities. Here's a possible way out. Dr. Monica Gandhi is a UCSF professor of Medicine in the division of HIV, infectious diseases, and global medicine. Her current research involves masks and their effects on COVID disease severity. In this interview we talk about the effects masks and mask mandates may have (distinguishing correlation from causation), masks and herd immunity, how our current climate of fear has punished poor people, the "strata of fear" that your social group resides in, and much more.
