Episode 4 "Government Response & Overreach in the Time of Coronavirus" is available on our feed now! Hosts Shazma and Karan discuss the government's response to the #coronavirus outbreak. What does it mean for individual rights vs public good, and where do we go from here?

[Ketra Schmitt @KetraSchmitt]

We can't afford to do that.

Trump calls the virus "a brilliant enemy." He adds, "Antibiotics used to solve every problem" but now "the germ has gotten so brilliant that the antibiotic can't keep up with it." He adds, "There's a whole genius to it." He adds of the virus, "It's hidden, but it's very smart."

friendly reminder in times of uncertainty and misinformation: anecdotes are not data. (good) data is carefully measured and collected information based on a range of subject-dependent factors, including, but not limited to, controlled variables, meta-analysis, and randomization

Took my nasty eye and my dog for a walk on this sunny, cold, beautiful Montreal day.

The parks had kids. The soccer field had young adults training. Groups of teenagers are out and walking dogs.

This is awful: Italian doctors are crying in hallways as they decide who "deserves" medical care "most."

BC's health officer said outside is ok. I would like advice on kids. Can they play with their friends outside? Not if they see their grandparents?
