The problem with TWiV 952 isn’t that you had a West Coast ID physician on, it’s that you invited the wrong one. The right choice is Monica Gandhi. Her reflections on ID Week 2022 (along with those of IDSA president Carlos del Rio) can be heard at https://youtu.be/24Fchp-P1co?t=1312.
[Unrelated to Dr. Gandhi, The Febrile Podcast also has an ID Week episode at https://febrilepodcast.com/58-idweek2022/.%5D
Having Dr. Gandhi on as a TWiV guest is one option, Others include having her on Immune, having her on the Infectious Disease Puscast or, for Sara Dong, having her on The Febrile Podcast. Relative to the masking letter and discussion one could set up a debate between Dr. Gandhi, who does not favor extending mask mandates, with People’s CDC co-founder Robert Wallace, who does (https://aag-hmgsg.org/profiles-of-health-geographers/profile-robert-wallace/). One could also ask Monica, Daniel and Sara who they favor to lead NIAID when Tony Fauci retires, and why.
