America faces record-shattering unemployment numbers, meanwhile the death toll from COVID-19 has grown to more than a thousand nationwide. The White House is working on guidelines to assess the risk each county in America faces when it comes to virus spread, while in Pennsylvania the public health department is crafting its own triage plan for the worst case scenario. And we’ll talk about why blowing air from a hair dryer up your nose won’t kill the coronavirus. Correction: An earlier version of this podcast episode had an error. More than 50 percent of those diagnosed with COVID-19 in Pennsylvania are under the age of 50. This has been fixed in the current audio. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
