Make Me Smart

What we still don’t know about coronavirus


Listen Later

Zeynep Tufekci has given us so much. Real Smarties know the UNC associate professor appeared on our show way back in 2018, and Tufekci has appeared on other Marketplace programs countless times to talk about technology and societal issues. Today, we’re digging into her latest piece in The Atlantic on a big unanswered question about COVID-19: How exactly does the virus spread from person to person? Plus, we’ll talk about Facebook groups, Subway’s bread-that’s-not-bread and, of course, pumpkin beer.

As always, you can find links to everything we talked about on makemesmart.org. Finally, tomorrow’s the day — Kai and Molly will drink a pumpkin beer. Thank you so much for the support! If you want, there’s still time to give at marketplace.org/givesmart!
