About this episode
Could all the talk about COVID-19 in the last 14 month have made us more fearful of the virus than we should be?
There’s no doubt COVID-19 is a serious virus and that public health measures have been needed to try to stem the spread, but along with those have come stress and anxiety — especially among younger people — tied to inflated perceptions of the virus’s risk.
National Post reporter Tristin Hopper joins Dave Breakenridge to talk about why this anxiety is hitting younger people, what is driving it, and why better communication and policy from leaders could help address it.
