A Connected COVID Christmas

Today on the podcast, I share my thoughts on COVID while recording during Advent, a time to look for hope in the darkness. I also provide some resources on what to consider for your holiday gatherings. 

Happy Holidays! Will be back in 2022!

To Do:

1- Encourage loved ones to be vaccinated. For more on the science behind vaccines, listen to Episode 3 with Dr. Gigi Gronvall. For more on how to have those conversations, listen to Episode 4 with Destiny Aman and a behavioral science perspective. 

2- Think about the 4D’s of safe shared air- Density, Distance, Duration and Dilution. For more information, listen to Episode 8 of this season with Ken Martinez.

3- Consider a rapid home test for COVID on the same day of planned gatherings with family. They are helpful at catching folks most likely to be spreading virus. 

4- If you are looking for a gift for me (or even if you aren’t) please donate to the American Lung Association. They do great work on clean air, education, and COVID19 safety.
