Coronavirus: Fact vs Fiction
This podcast covers a variety of news about coronavirus by speaking to professionals or people that was part of each section. It also explains some false aspects that are spreading, and people are falling for them, Doctor Sanjay Gupta guides us through this podcast and explain what happens in every single aspect. People that are being exposed to the different aspects are the ones explaining their experiences, which might lead to biases like being the victim, also from leaders of different institution.
The first section of this podcast is about how we people can help others. Doctor Sanjay Gupta says that we can help by donating to blood and food to food banks to have enough supply to the big amount of people that need help during this pandemic.
The second section of this podcast talks about how people are dating at distance. He says that the use of dating has increased now that we are all in our homes. The numbers of texts send is larger during this time. He tells the story of a video of a guy that used a drone to ask to a girl to be with him, and because of it, they are texting, and they are together, but with the distance.
In my point of view, the three next aspects are the ones that I find the most interesting about this podcast, and they are new things that I learned from the podcast. The first one is called analyzing antibodies. This is a different kind of test than the COVID-19 test. This is used to try to know which people are immune to the COVID-19. But this is not a famous test. However, this test can be very helpful for essential workers. People that are immune can continue their normal work life.
Another new thing that I learned, and I find interesting is about the section called “A Crisis in Our Prisons”. I find this interesting because it is about places where people must be close to another people. A testimony from a prisoner he says that not everybody wears masks and there are a lot of people that do not distant themselves from others.
The third section that I find very interesting is called “Profiting from Pandemic”. In this section, Doctor Sanjay Gupta talks about how a lot of people are using today’s situation to benefit from it. They are literally selling false hope to people that want to protect from COVID-19. Some people are selling medicine that does not work for nothing and say that it will cure COVID-19.
This is an interesting podcast that covers a lot of factors of COVID-19. It does not influence my point of view; it adds new information. I recommend this podcast to other people that want to learn about different subjects of COVID-19. The format is very simple to follow, and it’s divided into the different subjects.
