A few weeks ago, a young Chinese American entrepreneur from Pasadena went to a local nail salon to get a manicure and what happened next led to her writing a New York Times column. Alex Cohen talks with Celine Tien about her racist encounter and the dangerous impact of associating the coronavirus with a particular group of people.

 

Also in the episode, Alex speaks with Dr. Neil Schierholz, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Angeles Psychology Group. He talks about how to keep mentally healthy and how to cope with anxiety, fear, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
