We can help India while pushing towards normal in the US. The way forward, with UCSF’s Dr. Monica Gandhi.

We talk about the causes and conditions behind India’s current coronavirus crisis, how the US can (and must) help with patent waivers and vaccine shipments, why outdoor masks make little scientific sense and need to end NOW, masks and kids, opening schools, the importance of vaccines (but the nuance re: young children) and MUCH more.
