Witness Docs from Stitcher

This is in historic time.

This is going to be a multi-year fight.

Why is it taking so long to get a screening test?

It is not a hoax, it is real.

Something that we have never experienced before.

Wash hands, wash hands, wash hands.

You're the scientists, you're going to have to tell me.

Greetings, greetings.

I'm your host, Bill Nye, and this is the series that brings you the latest analysis and the science of this pandemic to keep you informed, prepared and calm.

We are still all in this together, my friends.

Almost three million people have been infected with the COVID-19 virus in the US, and that number is rising faster than ever before.

We have not yet seen a corresponding spike in the death rate, but even so, the virus has taken nearly 130,000 lives in this country alone.

And I've been getting your voice mails and your emails about your experiences during the pandemic, along with a lot of, frankly, excellent questions.

So please keep those coming.

Today, our friend Dr. Celine Gounder is back to help answer a few of those questions.

She's an assistant professor of medicine and infectious diseases at New York University, an epidemiologist, and the host of two podcasts,

Epidemic and American Diagnosis.

Dr. Gounder, Celine, welcome back to Science Rules, coronavirus edition.

It's great to be back.

Is it really a lot to happen?

A lot has happened since we last spoke in April.
