What should I do if I don't want to get
a cold?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Stay away from people all the time.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
We've heard so much about COVID in the past few years,
but humans have been living with viruses since the beginning. Smallpox, polio,
the common cold, herpies, the flu. It's H five N
one two three four four B. It just rolls off
the tongue right From Pushkin Industries and Ruby Studios at iHeartMedia.
This is Incubation, a podcast about the other viruses that

(00:31):
shape our lives. I'm Jacob Goldstein, and on this show
you'll hear how viruses attack us, how we fight back,
and what we've learned in the course of those fights. Well,
here why volunteers signed up to spend their vacations getting
colds at an abandoned hospital.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
The researchers would collect all their snotty tissues and try
and incubate and analyze the material in those snotty tissues.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
We'll learn how scientists have transformed our understanding of virus ruses.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
There is just something about the way the virus was shaped.
It always felt like there was no hope for creating.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
A vaccine until now. Until now, and we'll celebrate the
victories like the incredible story of how smallpox was wiped
off the face.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Of the planet.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Eradication means you have to get to whatever disease you're targeting, everywhere,
wherever it exists.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Incubation is a show about humanity's struggle against the world's
tiniest villains.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's mind bad, crazy, dangerous, so it's completely contraintuitive. The
amazing thing is it did work.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Join me every Thursday starting September seventh for Incubation, the
viral drama you won't want to miss.
