Episode 3
Well, we talk about the resurgence of polio, and answer your questions about the why behind it, how it is transmitted and how to protect yourselves and your littles. We were so close to eliminating this one! Dr. Aimee cannot contain herself talking about the structure of the virus and how it caused the invention of the iron lung, the life support that predates mechanical ventilation and....she shares her screen!
Thanks as always to Jeff Jeudy for this lovely song.
