Omicron and the continuing inequity of coronavirus care

from On The Record · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

The Covid-19 omicron variant has thrown the US into another wave of confusion -- how to mask, when and how to test, when to isolate.  Dr. Zachary Berger, a physician at Johns Hopkins and Catholic Charities ‘Esperanza Health Services Clinic,’ shares his thoughts about the current surge in infections … and also ways he see the pandemic further exposing inequities in access to health care:  “Be better, behave better, wear masks better, be more careful. Sure, I’m a doctor and I tell people to be careful. But I also tell people to recognize when things are larger than them and we should organize to make those things better.” Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
