(Recorded 4/30/20) No matter when your area āopens back up,ā when and how will you go on public transportation, or to restaurants, for example? (If you have the luxury to make that choice independent of your livelihood)
These are the questions Dr. MJC and I tackle in this weekās pandemic podcast conversation. We start with a brief overview of how different states and countries are approaching re-opening, and how we are wrapping our minds around it.
We donāt have the answers, but we are exploring how to frame thinking and important questions about risk, safety, and personal responsibility.
