Episode 418: The lines between fact, fiction, and the coronavirus

The headlines are filled with "Coronavirus," "COVID-19," and "pandemic" lately. Though if you're like Dyer, then most of what you know about a virus spreading across the globe most likely comes from movies.
We turn to Dr. Tara Smith who is an epidemiologist out of Kent State -- she actually teaches a course on plagues and pandemics. Dr. Smith likes to talk about this science in terms of pop culture (such as zombie movies), so we discuss the current COVID-19 pandemic to find the line between Hollywood and reality, fiction and fact.
Also, wash your hands.
