b'Folks, it\\u2019s a megasode. Not one, but 4 ologists. \\u201cCoronavirus\\u201d is on everyone\\u2019s lips -- and some people\\u2019s hands -- but what is it? Where did it come from? How does it spread? How dangerous is it? What should we do? Who\\u2019s most at risk? Was it biowarfare? Do bats spread it? Should you wear a mask? Can we still smooch our dogs on the face? Do we need to doomsday prep? What\\u2019s it like to live in a leper colony? Alie sits down with Dr. Shannon Bennett: a microbiologist, a molecular epidemiologist, a virologist and the Chair of Science at the California Academy Science. She is deeply informed and warm and charming and patient. All these questions will be answered and your panic will be swapped out for informed, empowered action and compassion. You will also wash your hands a lot. Whether or not you bathe in whiskey is up to you.\\xa0\\n\\nFollow: Dr. Shannon Bennett at twitter.com/microbeexplorer and Instagram.com/microbeexplorer\\n\\nListen to Chiropterology (BATS) with Dr. Merlin Tuttle\\n\\nListen to Disasterology (EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT) with Dr. Samantha Montano\\xa0\\n\\nListen to Disinfectiology (BLEACH) with Dr. Evan Rumberger\\xa0\\n\\nA donation went to: California Academy of Sciences\\xa0\\n\\nSponsor links: Kiwico.com/ologies; HelixSleep.com/ologies; AurateNewYork.com/ologies\\n\\nMore links at alieward.com/ologies/virology\\n\\n100 Humans on Netflix\\xa0\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/ologies or instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow twitter.com/AlieWard or instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media & Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
