Podcast EP #10

Join Indian immunologist Dr Satyajit Rath in a conversation with Brazilian public health expert Ariane Abreu on the Covid-19 trajectory and its parallels with other pandemics.

Navigating through the clutter of information on whether omicron is the end of the pandemic, Dr Rath and Ariane discuss the limitations and blindspots of such widely disseminated discourses when considering such stark differences in the availability of health data and resources across and within countries. They try to interpret the Covid-19 virus trends in light of past experiences, how governments have responded to it and who are those most affected by it.
