Conversation #63, Part 2: Delta Farce (August 10, 2021)

This episode contains the second part of our conversation about COVID-19, the Delta variant, and the territory we’re all lost in. In this part, we interrogate three articles about the current situation and talk about what they get right, what they get wrong, what they overlook, and the authors’ biases.
