    Lessons Learned From Hindered Contact Tracing Efforts In The U.S.

    Lessons Learned From Hindered Contact Tracing Efforts In The U.S.
    Early in the pandemic, contact tracing was viewed as one of the best options to quell the spread of coronavirus infections. The idea was to have public health workers track down people who tested positive, figure out whom they'd been in touch with and quickly get those people to quarantine. Places like Hong Kong and Singapore made headlines for their success stories. The U.S. aimed to replicate this, but came up short. Today, health reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin explains what went awry and the lessons learned.

    Odessa, Part 3: The Band Bus Quarantine

    Odessa, Part 3: The Band Bus Quarantine

    Odessa is a four-part series. All episodes of the show released so far are available here. 
    Last fall, as Odessa High School brought some students back to campus with hybrid instruction, school officials insisted mask wearing, social distancing and campus contact tracing would keep students and faculty safe. And at the beginning of the semester, things seemed to be going OK. But then a spike in coronavirus cases hit town, putting the school’s safety plan to the test. 

    In part three of our four-part series, we follow what happened when a student quarantine stretched the school’s nurses to capacity, fractured friendships and forced some marching band members to miss a critical rite of passage: the last football game of their high school career.

    Schools and coronavirus, test and trace, maths and reality

    Schools and coronavirus, test and trace, maths and reality

    As children return to school in England and Wales, we hear about what we know and what we don’t when it comes to Covid-19 risks in school settings. What do the numbers tell us about how well test and trace is working? Will reopening universities really kill 50,000 people? Are the UK’s figures on economic growth as bad as they look? And is maths real? When someone goes viral asking maths questions on social media, More or Less finds answers.

    Typhoid Mary: Lessons From An Infamous Quarantine

    Typhoid Mary: Lessons From An Infamous Quarantine
    A special episode from our colleagues at NPR's history podcast Throughline.

    When a cook who carried typhoid fever showed no symptoms and refused to stop working, authorities forcibly quarantined her for nearly three decades. Was she a perfect villain? Or a woman scapegoated because of her background?

    Throughline hosts Rund Abdelfatah and Ramtin Arablouei tell the story of Typhoid Mary — a story about journalism, the powers of the state, and the tension between personal freedom and public health.

    Contact Tracing Is Key To Reopening. We're Not There Yet

    Contact Tracing Is Key To Reopening. We're Not There Yet
    The U.S. may need 100,000 people trained in the public health practice of contact tracing — tracking and isolating people who've been in contact with someone who tests positive for the coronavirus. NPR health policy reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin explains how it works, and why it's a key part of the fight against the pandemic.

    The Most Savage Political Ad You’ll Ever See (Ep 1233)

    The Most Savage Political Ad You’ll Ever See (Ep 1233)
    In this episode, I address the disturbing reason some politicians are pushing for continued economic shutdowns. I also address President Trump’s bold move on immigration, and the pathetic Democrat response. Finally I address some new information on the Spygate scandal which debunks a persistent liberal narrative.  News Picks: New revelations about the Spygate scandal are devastating.  People are testing positive for the Wuhan Virus without showing symptoms. A third of people tested in this area had the Wuhan Virus antibodies. The fight over Wuhan Virus testing is about something bigger. No, we should not bail out the states.
