Show Notes
Brown University economist and bestselling author Dr. Emily Oster is probably best known for her writing about parenting and childbirth. Now, she's taken her data-centric approach to demystify the COVID-19 pandemic on a new website, explaincovid.org. Oster talks with Stephanie Desmon about the most frequently asked questions, what the data says about childcare facilities that have remained open, how schools should approach reopening in the fall, and why this virus has been so confusing for so many.
