Your podcast feed isn't glitching - yes it really is a new episode of Viral! We are back from our collective catatonic paralysis, I mean sabbatical, I mean break. Did we miss anything important happening in public health over the past year and a half? Quinn and Linsey get real about why they've been absent, talk about where we are in the world of Covid now that 2021 is halfway over already, and reveal what might be coming up next for the show.

Hey everyone! Linsey and Quinn are back with a two-part episode featuring a discussion with Dr. Erika Fant, clinical pharmacist, and Dr. Janice Zgibor, pharmacist and epidemiologist. We talk COVID, pharmacy, contact tracing, and more!
(This episode was originally recorded a few weeks ago but we held off on posting it to allow others to focus on the Black Lives Matter movement, but now that COVID is spiking again, we thought it would be a good time to get back in your ears.)
Thanks for listening!

Linsey and Quinn hop on Skype again to discuss the ongoing coronavirus crisis, compare figures from around the world, and contemplate what it means that some states are opening up while others remain closed. It gets weird.

Linsey and Quinn meet again (remotely this time) to discuss the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, including conspiracy theories and how this is affecting marginalized communities especially hard. Hang in there, everyone.

We're back from a hiatus to bring you an episode about, you guessed it, COVID-19 or Novel Coronavirus. It only took a global pandemic for us to get our butts in gear and record again!

Hopefully, we still have some listeners, so for those of you who are ride or die, thanks!
