Listen "We Are Italy: Coronavirus & Science-Informed Faith"
Episode Synopsis
I took a break from my every-other-week break with our newborn to have a conversation with one of the smartest people I know, Robbie Evans, a strategic director at a medical diagnostics company in Silicon Valley. He put together a Google Doc (linked below -- read first if you can) about some real and scary possibilities and likely projections for the US and COVID-19. This is not a time for (arbitrary) theological platitudes and claims about God and global diseases; rather, it is a time for a science-informed faith that helps us to best love our neighbors as ourselves. Consequently, most of this episode is spent on what we know from the best and most current data and projections. Stay safe, and stay home as much as you possibly can!Robbie’s full document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n-IaCZ7jSu_usI3f4gw5CZIQXcM4AGMdfEUtLZKfj4M/edit?fbclid=IwAR1V2mhT4gM_JwGEoeowr7uCQmIss3uYDCtCdzrVItqTEhP9Aps_WDiznHI#heading=h.3lszibyotnnyCDC COVID-19 All Categories: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.htmlIf you’re sick: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/steps-when-sick.htmlBasic prevention/protection: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.htmlUPDATE RE: UK: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-pandemic-herd-immunity-uk-boris-johnson/608065/ Hosted on Acast.
