In this episode of the podcast we discuss whether or not science has been vindicated by COVID-19. Has the response addressed the needs of the pandemic or has it only made apparent the gaps in our knowledge. We also discuss with Jack & Josh the global outlook of differing policy positions and public perception which may have shifted and altered the response to be one of emotion versus one rooted in the data. Has data been used correctly and have our political movements contributed to the unrest and misunderstanding of basic virtues and beliefs of society? This discussion will be an insightful look to potential responses to all of these topics and question.
