This episode of Carrie's Always Talking is all about Covid. Carrie and her guest, Christina Virgil talk about what it's like to still be Covid conscious in 2025. Christina shared what sparked her interest in learning more about Covid as well as her desire to help others learn more about the virus and understand the severity. The benefits of continuing or resuming mitigation, even if the process is not perfect are discussed as well as some general information about viruses and immune systems. Neither Carrie or Christina are doctors, but that's part of what makes the information shared easily understood and relatable. As always, there is some levity in the episode too!
