MD Talk: Virus Combat Tips To Stay Well Paradoxifi

    • Science

In this episode, we offer virus combat tips to stay well and avoid getting sick. In our focus on the unexpected STEM subject of Covid19, Dr. Tim McFarland offers examples of the ways ordinary people can combat a virus infection. Board certified in Family Medicine with thirty plus years of medical practice experience, he currently works as an ER physician and hospitalist. Discussion topics include:







Does viral dose and viral load affect your outcome?







Who or what is a super spreader?







Is there a better way to use my mask and gloves for grocery shopping?







How do I minimize surface contamination?







What is herd immunity and why is it beneficial?







What old wives tales do people use to help heal? Do these things work?







When do I need to get help from the hospital for my illness?







If a Covid positive person is identified within a household in America, then what happens?







Why are we still out of toilet paper?







What impact does faith have on a crises?







MD Talk: Virus Combat Tips is the second of three podcast episodes. All episodes center on the unexpected virus season of Covid 19. Our first episode, MD Talk: Virus Habits & History explains the behavior and structure of virus entities versus bacteria. The show also pointed out the contradictions and assumptions about viruses. Our third podcast, MD Talk: Mental Health During Crises, will identify strategies to sustain good mental health during times of emergency. After this series, we plan to divert to non Covid 19 topics and highlight unexpected STEM and faith stories.
