As we continue to ride another Covid wave some people are testing positive for the coronavirus for 10 days or longer, leading them to ask questions about how long they might be infectious to others and if they need to continue isolating. The answers are unclear because antigen tests could be picking up leftover viral debris but you can otherwise be free of symptoms. Emily Anthes, science reporter at the NY Times, joins us for what to know.
Next, Gen z is shifting their attitudes when it comes to work. For a long time they were looking for work that could make a difference and that would align with their values, but as inflation and student loan debt continue to rise, they are willing to ditch some of those values for a better paycheck. Callum Borchers, On the Clock columnist at the WSJ, joins us for how entering the workforce during the pandemic is changing some minds.
Finally, a productivity tool used by some with ADHD is gaining ground in online circles. People looking for a way to stay motivated are turning to a virtual co-working model called “body doubling” on places like TikTok. People needing help with work or even just doing chores like laundry are finding that this process helps keep them accountable and stay productive. Kelsey Ables, reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for why body doubling is catching on.
