Should we wash our groceries and disinfect our mail? Is it safe to take ibuprofen? Julie and Sam discuss "information hygiene" — a set of media management practices to preserve our sanity and make us less prone to misinformation. Plus a recap on good ol' physical hygiene during the Covid Crisis. And listener questions: -What to do if you get sick?
-How long will this last? -Why don't we know when it will end? -Is the cure worse than the disease?   Featured Music: “In The 21st Century” by Keshco is licensed under a CC Attribution-ShareAlike License.
