What this episode covers

*Activation Warning: The discussion centers around COVID-19 and there is mention of what is happening in Texas. The Slim and Thick Podcast is a space for those in the community. Join two black femmes as they unapologetically take up space to provide knowledge, resources, and dialogue on current important topics. In a Las Vegas Review-Journal Article by Michael Scott Davidson (2020) titled "Nevadans want ‘normal life’ to return as COVID fatigue sets in" discusses the issues that residents are feeling as the COVID Pandemic has dragged on. "In Nevada and more than half of other U.S. states, COVID-19’s spread is regaining momentum. But after months of lockdowns, social isolation, and mask-wearing, Nevada officials are concerned about “COVID fatigue,” describing frustrated and restless residents who now choose to ignore recommended pandemic precautions. The largest growth in new cases in Nevada and the U.S. has been among college-age adults, UNLV epidemiologist Brian Labus said." Sit down with us as we explore the feelings of frustration and anxiety that many are feeling during this health crisis, and let's try and explore what we can do to adjust as a community.
