Agreed that the pandemic is *not* over (i.e., in the U.S.) – but recall even the CDC has pretended it is for some time – removing covid mask recommendations, etc., specifically for “political/economic” reasons. This is basically what that pandemic pronouncement was/is about: the majority of U.S. citizens continue to struggle with increasing de facto slide into multi-generational poverty. We professionals just don’t see this majority in our worlds; motorcycles, boats, airline flights, etc. (other than insular, perhaps, as patients)
Is it possible for Dr. Griffen to discuss acute flaccid myelitis in kids? LOVE all your shows. Finding out about microbe tv has been one of the only true benefits of COVID 19. Thank you for all you do.
