Talking COVID and ending the shutdown safely with Dr. David Katz

Today I'm joined by Dr. David Katz to discuss COVID-19 and how the shutdown itself may be causing harm. He tells us how the shutdown could have been shorter while still protecting our health. Could we loosen restrictions before approval of a vaccine? Dr. Katz thinks so.

We also talk about herd immunity. What is herd immunity? How many people need to be infected to achieve it? Could we we be closer to herd immunity than we think?

As always, iff you have any health or Covid questions, send me an email! I always answer a few questions at the top of the show.
