The loss we're experiencing is heartbreaking. Not to mention, we're acutely aware that the virus is disproportionately affecting impoverished and BIPOC communities. And yet, COVID-19 has become a pandemic of polarization with very little conversation in the sensible middle. Rather than coming together as a society, as a country, and more specifically as a wellness community, so many have taken the path of extremes when it comes to COVID-19.
But no matter which side you’re on, preventative medicine specialist, David Katz, MD, believes it’s time for a COVID reality check.
On this episode, Katz joins mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss how we can reach middle ground (and why we should) when it comes to the coronavirus, plus:
*Herd immunity & why there's no such thing as a zero-risk scenario*
*Why there's no better time for a "get healthy" campaign*
*Why we shouldn't wait for a vaccine before going back to the world*
*Why you might have native resistance to COVID-19*
*How mainstream media perpetuates our fear*
