When Viruses Spread, Who’s Most Vulnerable? with Dr. Steven W. Thrasher: Viral spread, this week’s guest reminds us, “happens through very normative life activities: sex, breathing, handshaking, hugging, just being. The things that we have to do to stay alive.” So what happens when we encounter viruses through these activities? The answer often depends on who “we” are. Listen in as Dr. Steven W. Thrasher and Jonathan explore how social inequalities in the US and beyond shape how viruses spread—and who is most vulnerable when they do. A note from team Getting Curious: We recorded this episode with Dr. Thrasher back in May, just as we started hearing about the international monkeypox outbreak, so even though this episode holds great relevance, you won’t hear much about monkeypox in the conversation itself. We’ll hope to have updated coverage and commentary on our @CuriouswithJVN social media pages soon. CW: This episode discusses police violence, bodily harm, and hateful rhetoric.
