My guest for this episode is Brady Sorensen, Employee Health Manager at a hospital in Topeka, KS. He has seen the impact of COVID-19 first-hand and he has some thoughts on the virus and the government's response to it. Brady has also been immune-compromised since he was 8 months old, so he has a unique personal experience in addition to his professional vantage point.

Make sure to check out some of the resources I've gathered for those interested in a wider perspective on the pandemic than what you get from cable news and the corporate press.
I am going to point you to some alternative voices that are challenging the Approved Narrative around this pandemic and the government's response to it. I don't necessarily agree with everything these people say, but it's extremely important that we engage ideas outside the echo chamber of the corporate press. In the case of COVID-19, I believe there is a lot of analysis that brings good news to the reality of this pandemic, things that you aren't going to hear if all you do is listen to the experts on TV or read the papers.
On the other hand, there's also a lot of junk in the corners of the web that should be dismissed. I highly doubt aliens caused the virus, for example, but I'm sure somebody out there has what appears to be a well-sourced explanation of that theory.
What I'm directing you to is different. These are not crackpots as far as I can tell; despite what the corporate press would have you believe, there is actually A LOT of debate within the scientific community about COVID-19 and what the best response should be from a public policy perspective. There are scores of reasonable questions that are routinely ignored by the gatekeepers of the media. You should be aware of them, and you should demand answers to them. The sources I will link to are thoughtful, reasoned, and provocative. They are well worth your time. All I can say is, thank God for alternative media in 2020.
