    Imposter podcast. Go to coronavirus central!!
    This is an imposter podcast. Tells you the same thing the news regurgitates. No new info. Coronavirus central actually gives many articles and facts with dates. The man running it is a former politician and govt planner and top rated podcast who has the NYT following it now. He’s been removed from Spotify for a reason and hacked by amazon and YouTube for the PROOF he provides from articles and other medical sources from Wuhan and Hubei province as well as all over Europe.

    Trump-hating fear mongers!!!
    I was completely interested in what this podcast could have been. You can hear the loathing of the Orange Man in their snarky voices. This podcast is anything but journalism. If this were true journalism, I wouldn’t be able to tell who they agree with. Furthermore, journalists chase leads down to places where the clues lead them, regardless for preference of the outcome. If they do not explore Dr. Faucis’ history of misguiding the public during the early stages of HIV / AIDS crisis, then these reporters are not fit for your podcast consumption.

    Medical data isn't hard to find
    It's probably more difficult for some people to put all the unexpected non-medical issues into perspective than they expected. What are those, you ask? Safety plans- social distancing, only essential businesses open, etc and those come from … ?? Politicians! Hell, I stumbled on a forum sometime in January or so with topics like "who gave DARPA permission to release the (engineered) corona virus?", picking apart the photos and story of the disgraced (because he criticized Trump- I mean Xi by "leaking" information to colleagues) Chinese opthalmologist who first described the disease and I wish I remember what else. You can bet they find bias everywhere. Just consider if a man who says he doesn't need to listen to "2 dumb broads" represents your demographic. I still think it's lousy to have quit mid-March even though more pop up all the time.

    What a letdown!
    So let me get this straight. You create a podcast to give people up to date info on coronavirus and then midstream tell us, “just kidding, we’re going to do different podcasts later in the year”?!?! Lame. Definitely unsubscribing. I’m no longer interested.

    Horror movie
    The episode with the horror movie producer helped me understand where my fears come from. And we can each become a small hero in our small personal narrative or mental movie.

    Political biased
    Blatant anti trump while letting the real guilty party of China off the hook.......

    Informative and engaging
    I was looking for more of a deep dive than what the headlines give me this podcast delivered! They’re able to breakdown a range of topics in a fun (as close as you can get for it) way

    Not essential listening
    This is one of three podcasts I listen to about this. I will continue to do so. However, the hosts are not experts in the medical field unlike the other coronavirus 19 podcasts. So you get a lot less information & more speculation & questioning. I just think it was ill advised to set it up this way. Stick to the experts in times of vital/crisis information.

    Very informative
    I learned so much more, your show is so informative and educational on so many levels. Thank you for keeping things in prospective. Truly have recommended this show to all my friends.

    Very political
    This show was not helpful. Hoping to get information and stats on the virus worldwide and nationally. However from the start it was finger pointing at Trump- I am over both sides and finger pointing. Didn’t make it through the entire show, can’t listen to this garbage, not when so much is at stake. I don’t care if trump or Obama or anyone did what you think is best. The media once again has let the American people down.

    Covid19
    Seems like they are more interested in bashing Trump than reporting. They should listen to the CDC docs before recording
  • Tracivee
    Say they’re not biased but they clearly are. Super negative.
    Only negative info and biased. Shocker.
  • Snowmommy.d.m
    Too Partisan
    I will continue to listen as maybe it will change, but right now we need to come together, not divide. The hosts are probably too young to remember, but we need the post 9/11 feeling to combat this. I am NOT a Trump supporter. Didn’t vote for him and actually voted for Sanders in the last election. However, his press conference was actually a marked improvement over previous ones. He seemed a bit more presidential. Inconsistencies in his speech - yes. But if we fact checked after ANY politician spoke there would be inconsistencies. Be kind and understand that this is an unprecedented emergency. Nobody knows what they are doing at any level and it changes hourly.

    Some Great Info
    Would be much better if these two ladies could stop themselves from inserting political opinion. So far (on episode 4), the political opinion insertions have been minimal, and unfortunately I am not sure they even realize they are doing it. Stay with the facts, Ladies, please. I’m not interested in your personal opinions on the President.
  • Gvfunkingruvee
    Missed opp due to politics
    Can you not just report the facts? Political opinion is the last thing needed.

    Now my go to podcast on the coming pandemic
    I plan to keep listening as things progress; this podcast has already given me much helpful information, much more so than other outlets. And yet it’s never dry, always engaging. Really well done!
  • Apple Josh
    Informative and engaging
    This podcast is really great. It goes beyond the superficial coverage we’ve seen so far in the media and gives a more in-depth look at the covid-19 pandemic, exploring all its facets from the scientific to the economic. The hosts are informative and engaging, providing detail and depth in a clear and concise way. Highly recommended!

    Perfection
    Loving this! It provides accurate information without hyping the hysteria. It’s smart, witty, and timely. I have recommended to a number of my colleagues in healthcare.
  • Mel723
    Seems strange to say...Finally!
    I really appreciate that someone is putting information out without trying to cause a panic. I realize you’ve only done 2 episodes, so far but your experts have both been clear and concise. I absolutely love that neither one’s explanation was bogged down with jargon that an average person would have to take the time to look up at least half of the explanation. It’s admirable that you’re taking time to sift through all of the information and misinformation to give the facts and maybe bring the panic down a tad (it’s also super interesting).

    Great source of info on Coronavirus!
    My new go to source for up to date, clear, scientifically based information on a very fluid topic. Keep up the good work!
  • pdegrego
    Interesting and informative!
    This podcast really distills the onslaught of media coverage and developing information to help bring clarity to what the coronavirus means for all of us

    Are you Serious.
    Masks don’t work so don’t go out and buy them. And you’re not intelligent enough to utilize the ones that do so don’t go out to places like Home Depot and buy them because medical professionals need them. So you’re telling me hospitals amongst other organizations are going to buy them from big box home improvement stores and retail outlets? The problem is they weren’t prepared and now find themselves in competition with the public to secure personal protective gear. Buy what you can and store it away for your protection folks unlike the government and healthcare industry that didn’t. Don’t listen to these two dumb broads reading off of their script.

    👍🏽👍🏽
    I love the tone of this. Sharp, smart, well informed, and not at all sensational or pedantic. Looking forward to more episodes.

    Informative, No BS
    Clear-eyed look at this confusing, emerging disease. I thought I was totally up to date but I learned a ton from this.
  • Sake&Charlie

    Love it
    Informative, but also gives me more information than I get from just reading the paper. Looking forward to more episodes!
