#29: Country covid strategies with Sam Stoddart

It is rational that different countries take different approaches to manage an outbreak, such as what we’ve seen with COVID-19? And how can you tell the difference between fake news and real facts in the midst of a pandemic?

In the last episode of the WDGLL podcast, Sam Stoddart explained the basics of health economics, and how the interplay between individuals, healthcare providers and clinical settings affect our health. This week we continue that conversation through the lens of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The conversation builds on an article on the melio website originally written by Sam.
