Sinopsis

Nearly two years into this pandemic now, and it kind of feels like we’ve seen it all -- from surprising surges to wildcard variants. But if life under Covid has taught us one thing, it’s to expect the unexpected. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we check in with a local infectious disease expert who says that even at this late stage in the pandemic, it still makes sense to be careful (despite the suggestions by some that it might be better to get infected intentionally). And then a bit later on in the program we also discuss why predicting the course of this health crisis has been so difficult. Guests:  Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, professor of medicine, infectious disease expert, UC San Francisco  Andrew Pekosz, professor of microbiology, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health Host: Keith Menconi
