The weather. Tomorrow, expect a biting cold front. Hmm, how naughty. I wonder what I'll be

wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain

that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise slowly but surely reaching

their peak in the afternoon.

Not in the mood for miserable weather?

Hello from the Heartland.

My name is Jenna, and this is Smarter News,

news when it matters and why it matters.

Our Smarter series features unique people who help us think and live smarter.

Welcome to our first Smarter News Live of 2022. I'm really excited about this. We have Dr. Rutland back with us again, pulmonologist, father, and a great friend of Smarter News over really the last 18

months, taking a look at the pandemic. And when we talk about primary sources as a journalist,

that's what we're always looking for. Primary source is a source that is closely connected to a topic that has firsthand experience

with it.

And so Dr. Rutland is a primary source when it comes to understanding the coronavirus as a

virus, but also the disease that it causes or the illness that it causes COVID-19.

We're going to use those terms

interchangeably. We do that a lot between SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 the illness. Remember,

COVID-19 is sort of a made-up term by the World Health Organization. Coronavirus disease,

2019, that's what it stands for. And so sometimes we refer to COVID, we're really talking about the virus.

Sometimes we're talking about the virus, talking about COVID. So just always like to refresh us on that.
