Corona Controversies

In this episode, Sweta and Taylor take the show from the studio to their living room to chat all things COVID-19. They discuss the evidence behind the effectiveness of social distancing measures (not as much as you would think!), public perceptions of risk and subsequent behaviors like hoarding and hysteria, food supply chains (are fine!), and some really controversial issues: Is this natural selection? How much are we willing to pay to save a life? And ultimately, why coronavirus should be mad at us! As usual, these two find the silver lining. Not only will they help listeners get through this with laughs, virtual happy hours and plenty of rosé, but they also concede that humanity might come out much better in terms of consumption. Grab a glass and hunker down. **The guidelines in every city are different regarding what is acceptable for social distancing. Our hosts were compliant to the DC guidelines when this was recorded on March 20th, but please make sure you are checking your local regulations as they tend to be adjusting rapidly in the US and around the world. Risky Behavior DC will continue to bring you content so you can enjoy a beverage with us from wherever you are, and regardless of how isolated you are required to be!
