Now that we are nine months into the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, we invite Dr. Alasdair Munro, a pediatrics infectious disease expert, back on to the show to discuss recent developments in public health policy concerning the spread of COVID-19, the risk of it, and children. We also talk about the rigorously policed echo chamber of Twitter, specifically #medtwitter, and finding an audience for controversial opinions.

This week is also the start of an experiment in breaking our content up into bite-sized, single-topic episodes. What do you think? Do you prefer a shorter, single-focus episode, or do you prefer our old format?
