Episode 14: COVID-19 x South Africa

A story about Community health, the Meaning of "Siyabonga," and How to Be the Worst Uber Passenger! 

Host Paco Abiad takes a deep dive into conversation with Fulbright Scholar Scarlett Bergam to learn all about what it's like to be living and working in South Africa this year amidst the latest developments with the COVID-19 Omicron variant. Today's story is one of the geographic beauties of South Africa and the resilient and collectivist culture of the local people. We hope that today's episode helps audience members to not simply point fingers at South Africa and block sub-Saharan Africa from the rest of the global community and to appreciate the infectious disease experts in South Africa for alerting the world to the Omicron variant.
