  • Introduction to the COVID-19 PPC Podcast

    Welcome to  the introductory episode of COVID-19 PPC (Public Health, Policy, and Culture).  


    As of late March 2020, several countries and several states in the United States are on stay-at-home orders. Many of us are now technically in social or spatial isolation as each location works on containing the virus and getting past a peak in infections, to control and bring down these numbers.

    Many of us are seeking real-life information about the daily impacts and effects of this pandemic in daily life, and desire hearing real stories that don’t make the news. We seek to learn and hear from other countries living through this historic time, and to hear what we can learn from each other.
    In this environment, the COVID-19 PPC podcast was born.
    Public Health: Thanks to this pandemic, many people will understand the importance of public health as a discipline. We provide some insights into the world of public health and how researchers and practitioners work to serve the health of the public.
    Policy: We discuss the role of the World Health Organization, federal government, state and local public agencies in controlling the spread of this virus.
    Culture: As a world, we are all in this together. Government officials, health care practitioners, researchers, and our global neighbors. Sharing real-life accounts of working, serving, and living through the pandemic.

    Through interviews with people living in various parts of the world in this pandemic, we hear about their daily activities, thoughts, concerns and the ways they practice self-care and wellness. We hear their perspectives, advice, and messages to the world.
