203: So...Are We Going To Wear Masks Forever?
When we think of diseases like cold or flu, why is it that we don’t get sick from multiple diseases at the same time? If we’re exposed to multiple diseases (like we all are every day) you’d expect people who are already ill to become even sicker, now with say, cold and flu at the same time. This almost never happens. Why not? This week, Dr. Jack and Mary help us to reframe the way we’re asking questions about our current health crisis. We know that correlation does not equal causation, and yet the CDC jumps from answer to answer without any proper research to make sweeping recommendations that affect us all. Tune in to learn why asking the right questions is our only way out of this mess.
