A 98% Decrease in Daily COVID Cases (with Céline Gounder)

Andy calls up Dr. Céline Gounder, who just wrapped up a two-week rotation at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. They discuss her current COVID patient load compared to a year ago, the city's new vaccine requirements, and her honest assessment of the Biden administration's COVID record. Plus, why trust is so important when we ask people to do things like getting vaccinated for the common good.
