Description

Going Viral Episode 206

In this episode:

  • The elimination of isolation periods and mask mandates
  • An update on the vaccination landscape, including recently approved jabs, the bivalent vaccine, and vaccination for children
  • A new nasal swab test which is about to become available. It’s not a RAT and it might be more accurate
  • How some prominent world leaders have tried to convince us that the pandemic is over and that we just have to get used to the “new normal”, but are these ideas having the right impact on public health outcomes?

 

Host: Dr David Lim, GP and Medical Educator
