Episode 1 of Breaking Distance covers the COVID19 pandemic. Epidemiologist and BFF Ambassador Rebekah Frimpong leads a panel and Q&A on true nature of the virus. The current coronavirus disease, Covid-19, has been called a once-in-a-century pandemic. But it may also be a once-in-a-century evidence fiasco. At a time when everyone needs better information, from disease modelers and governments to people quarantined or just social distancing, we lack reliable evidence on how many people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or who continue to become infected. Better information is needed to guide decisions and actions of monumental significance and to monitor their impact. The goal of this panel and Q&A is to demystify the virus and offer tangible and reliable advice on combatting COVID - 19 while maintaining our humanity and compassion as one human race. Can art and artists have a positive impact on the crisis?

This is Part 2 of our first episode and the conversation continues with our guests sharing hopes for best outcomes of the COVID19 pandemic on medical and emotional levels.
