On today's episode, someone has a fever, and the only prescription is more podcast! We've been following the COVID-19 pandemic closely since the very beginning of this show...and today we get an up-close and personal look at the effects of this infectious disease.
We start off talking about the new mask mandate in Baton Rouge (3:39) and encourage everyone to wear a mask, which you can get in our SWOTS shop (9:00)! We then call up our good friend of the show, Dr. T (Dr. Tatiana Saavedra of the Baton Rouge Clinic), and get a check up on the symptoms she's been feeling (11:02). Matt does a quick diagnosis, and it's....different than what we thought - and a little more serious (15:04). We talk with Dr. T about how easily this virus can spread (23:12), but more importantly, how painful it really is...it's NOT just a flu (25:53). She stresses again the importance of wearing masks not just to protect ourselves, but everyone around us (30:30).
She is a really good sport for coming on our podcast and talking about this. We like to think that laughter is the "best medicine", so we invited her back on to lift her spirits as she deals with the disease and its symptoms.
We then go into some discussion about famous sightings we've had over the years, starting with Vanilla Ice (41:35). And then we wrap up the holiday weekend celebrating "Bobby Bonilla Day" (59:09)!
