There are no two ways about it, we are living in unchartered territory. In my humble opinion, what will allow our country to get through the COVID-19 pandemic as quickly as possible isn't praying to a particular God or posting inspirational memes. No, it's listening to qualified and experienced experts who are guided by research and data. In this special edition of Coffee Chats, Matt chats with infectious disease expert and university lecturer Matt Mason. In their chat, they discuss why COVID-19 is unlike the common cold, how Australia is better equipped to cope with the virus than other countries and what our best steps are moving forward.
