It was 5 years ago today the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic because of the novel coronavirus.
It marked the start of a very different way of life, disrupting almost every part of our society, including our concept of time.
What have we learned from that fateful day 5 years ago, and what has been the impact on society and on public health?
Host Gurdeep Ahluwalia speaks with Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch, @BogochIsaac, about his recollections and thoughts on how we changed as a society because of Covid-19.
