Gene-NINA Pt.1

On this episode we’re bringing in our lead producer Sam Riddell to get into some questions about MY thoughts around genetic testing that y’all have been asking me all season. You’ll also here Sam give the update on Dat Rona this week and we’re talking all about the SEVERE racial disparities when it comes to diagnoses and deaths resulting from COVID-19. We’re going to talk about the PLETHORA of reasons why Black Americans specifically are dying in higher numbers from the coronavirus and how these statistics are being tracked — if at all and — how we should interpret them. Then we are going to lay out a loose a strategy that could have dramatically changed these statistics and envision a better future.
