#117 Asymptomatic Transmission, Going Back to School and Immunity: The Sars-CoVid2 Part 1 with Jena S. Griffith, RDN, IHC

Show Notes

I resisted doing anything CV19 related to the podcast, but I have news fatigue and just need some good research on the topic. That's why I invited my investigative journalist turned dietitian friend Jena S. Griffith back on The Less Stressed Life Podcast for a two-episode series on the CV to talk current research and common questions around asymptomatic transmission, going back to school, immunity, testing, treatment, and masks.
