Do we love each other yet? To put our struggles in perspective: this week in 1970, Apollo 13 safely returned to Earth after a close brush with disaster and the potential death of all three astronauts. Following the NASA Director’s comment: “This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever experienced,” Gene Kranz replied, “With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.”
This is our fifth program on COVID-19, and we will explain why this will also be our finest hour in the battle against this disease. You will hear an important update from our infectious disease experts - everything you need to know, without the drama and political commentary. We will also hear from the CEO’s of MCW, Froedtert Health and Children’s Wisconsin on how academic medical centers are dealing with this pandemic – information you will not find elsewhere. We have also arranged a special visit from Mr. Baseball, Hall of Famer Bob Uecker, connecting with us from Arizona. Bob can put any challenge in perspective! The Word on Medicine was the first to bring you accurate scientific information on testing, treatment and the impact of COVID-19 on Wisconsin, and you will hear the latest updates this week.
