Description

Guest: Dr. Tim Sly, an epidemiologist and professor emeritus from the School of Public Health at Ryerson University Ontario is in the sixth wave of COVID-19. It is not known how many people are infected, but anecdotally, it certainly feels like a lot. With Omicron subvariant BA.2 now dominant and others on the horizon, this is another sign that while we may be sick and tired of COVID-19, this disease does not listen to proclamations that it is over. Despite the lifting of mask mandates, experts say you should take precautions against this wave and it is something we need to take seriously. This episode was produced by Raju Mudhar, Brian Bradley and Sean Pattendon.
