What does a freelance epidemiologist do in a pandemic? Volunteer lots of time, from developing intensive protocols for a youth ice hockey team, to researching vaccine safety and learning about what people think about vaccines. Professional curiosity drives me to read, think, and work toward a more positive outlook. I care deeply about the profession of public health, and am wrestling with how we can better connect with people to encourage wellness. I hope you enjoy hearing from the real people I have met on Twitter and at gas stations and grocery stores!

In this episode we discuss the current situation in Virginia Beach (various variants!), in the state of Virginia (still orange but trending down!), and in the US; we talk about Virginia Beach students going back to school full-time in person 4 days a week and we also create a 2x2 table to illustrate the perils of asymptomatic screening in a low prevalence situation. Get your pencil and paper ready for the fun! You get to be in charge and you get to decide if this policy makes sense. The closer introduces a podcast recommendation for your next road trip with the family regarding equitable vaccine distribution from a philosopher's point of view. Don't miss the closer! Thank you so much for listening.
