“The Pandemic is Over!”
The pandemic is not over. The hosts of Emergency Room:The Covid Diaries would like to celebrate as much as some other people and elected leaders and governments in the United States reporting that Covid-19 is done but we prefer to look at the facts and figures regarding the virus and report back that there is much work to do. In this episode we meet Dr John Lynch, an Infectious Disease doctor and the physician responsible for Covid protocols and employee health at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. Dr Lynch is considered an eminent voice in infection prevention nationally. His work in fighting the pandemic has been relentless and continues to this day. We hear from Dr Lynch what we can do, and why we should do it, when it comes to dealing with the surging Omicrom BA2 variant. We also hear from Matthew about his time as a kindergarten teacher in New York City in the depths of 2020 and 2021 while Guy tells us how a touring band returns to the road just as yet another surge of the virus hits the nation.
