Parallels Between COVID-19 and Resistance Superbugs Unplugged

    • Science

On this episode, co-hosts Lance B. Price and Matthew Wellington are back "together apart" (socially distanced, of course!) to discuss parallels between COVID-19 and antibiotic resistance. The co-hosts look at antibiotic resistance through the lens of COVID-19 by diving into the themes of isolationism, individualism, a lack of a coordinated national response to address current public health issues, and over-dependence on vaccine/antibiotic development, all of which threaten our ability to effectively and efficiently address both issues.
