In this episode, on the day when the number\xa0who have died from Covid-19\xa0in America\xa0reached 100,000, we speak with\xa0special guests Eustace and Carol Theodore, both longtime friends of Steve. After vacationing\xa0in England in the first half of March, as the virus was swiftly and invisibly spreading throughout the UK,\xa0they returned to Vermont, just prior to\xa0President Trump imposing flight bans on Europe, the UK and Ireland. They describe Eustace\u2019s accumulating symptoms, and the uncertain, extended process by which they finally came\xa0to discover he had indeed been infected with Covid-19 while abroad.\xa0In an extreme condition, Eustace is intubated and placed on a ventilator. How and why did he survive? How has recovery advanced? And what are the larger meanings of their profound, shared experiences?\xa0\nEustace Theodore has had a long career in education, as a sociologist and residential at Yale College, Executive Director of the Association of Yale Alumni, and President of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). Carol Theodore has had a distinguished career as a corporate lawyer.
