Surgeon Explains the Importance of Protective Equipment

Some of the strategies individuals can employ to slow the spread of COVID-19 are extremely simple, starting with washing your hands as often as possible. For years, Dr. Atul Gawande has worked with hospitals to lower their infection rates by reminding doctors to do exactly this. A surgeon and "New Yorker" staff writer, Gawande joins the program to reflect on another week of tragedy and challenge.
