The Most Important Question

#90: What It’s Like to be a COVID-19 Lab Rat

Listen Later

In Episode 90, Quinn & Brian discuss: What it’s like to be a COVID-19 Lab Rat.

Our guest is: Allie Broas, an almost-MBA and one of Quinn’s many, many cousins.

We weren’t exactly planning to do more of these episodes right now — most of the people who are trying to change the world are quite busy at the moment — but then we had this unique opportunity to talk to someone who is not just a COVID-19 survivor but also, now, a COVID-19 test subject! So, we had to take it and learn more about how she contracted the virus, what her experience was like, and how she’s able to help doctors and scientists research it now.
