Reopening Realities: A Frank Discussion on Pandemic Safety

I mean to me, wearing a mask now out in public is like wearing pants.
Imagine the world reopening while the pandemic still lingers. That's exactly what Steph and Beth tackle in this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars'. Recorded on May 6, 2020, they dive into the perplexing decisions around states reopening during the coronavirus crisis. They question why society seems to act like the pandemic is over when it clearly isn't. Is it worth the risk? They argue that if reopening is essential, it must be done correctly, with safety as the top priority.
The hosts draw an amusing yet poignant parallel, suggesting that masks are like 'pants for your face'—a necessary layer of protection everyone should adopt in public spaces. Their conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics, like the ethics of reopening meat plants and whether profits should ever trump human lives. They even touch on the practical challenges of wearing masks while eating and the critical need for proper ventilation.
Through it all, Steph and Beth's dialogue is candid, thoughtful, and deeply engaging, offering a fresh perspective on navigating these uncertain times. Tune in for an episode that's as informative as it is heartfelt, and join the conversation on how we can protect each other in this interconnected world.
