At 47:39 interview on the huge summer Covid surge w/ Eric Topol, who notes 1M US cases a day. He says Covid is same family of viruses as colds WRONG. That family is rhinoviruses. He reports high transmissible variant; waning immunity, & "abandoned mitigation” to blame. Masks encouraged. Nasal vax discussed. Decent questions from reporter. overall FAIL from huge public health figure.
