Description

The world is in a state of chaos and most of us are left asking questions because we just don’t understand what to do. Alex’s guest today is here to answer some of those questions. Natasha Lloyd is an epidemiologist with a specialty in infectious disease. She was well on her way to skiing in the Olympics when she suffered a tragic back injury that completely changed her course. Alex and Natasha are going to dive in-depth into the current state of the world as it deals with COVID-19 as well as suicide prevention. We don’t know where the world is headed, but social isolating doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go it alone!
