COVID Updates: A Podcast with Peter Chin-Hong and Lona Mody

  • サマリー

  • In March 2020, we launched our first podcast on COVID-19. Over the past four years, we’ve seen many changes—some positive, some negative. While many of us are eager to move past COVID (myself included), it’s clear that COVID is here to stay.

    This week, we sit down with infectious disease experts Peter Chin-Hong and Lona Mody to discuss living with COVID-19. Our conversation covers:

    • The current state of COVID

    • Evidence for COVID boosters, who should get them, and preferences between Novavax and mRNA vaccines

    • COVID treatments like Molnupiravir and Paxlovid

    • Differences in COVID impact on nursing home residents and those with serious illnesses

    We wrap up with a “magic wand” question. My wish was for better randomized evidence for vaccines and treatments, though I worry this might not be feasible. In the meantime, there’s significant room to improve vaccine uptake among high-risk groups, particularly nursing home residents. Currently, only 1 in 5 nursing home residents in the US have received the COVID booster, compared to over 50% in the UK.
