This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron take a look at some new COVID-19 predictions from the Mayo Clinic and President Joe Biden’s 60 Minutes interview from Sunday night. Plus, they discuss why some doctors accused of over-prescribing opioids are relying on the Supreme Court.
They’ll take a look at these questions:
Is the COVID-19 pandemic over?
What will happen with COVID-19 in the next few weeks?
Will hospitalizations and deaths go up or down?
Why is polio making a comeback?
What has the Supreme Court said about opioids?
Are doctors responsible for the opioid epidemic?
Should you cook chicken in NyQuil?
