Ep. 21 - Biden: ”The pandemic is over”

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?
