Show Notes

People are deliberately trying to catch Covid-19.  Some are hoping by catching it now, they can make sure they’re Covid-free for a big event, maybe a wedding or a birthday celebration.  So is it a good idea? 

 

Two of our Briefing listeners are actively trying to catch it – Mel and David – but Professor Catherine Bennett, chair of epidemiology at Deakin University, says it’s not a good idea.

 

On today’s Briefing, we find out once and for all, if it’s a good idea to actively seek out and catch, Coronavirus.
