Espresso Talk Today
We invite you for a quick uncommon conversation that will challenge everything you think!
Separate and NOT Equal: COVID in Europe and America
COVID-19 has been called the "Great Equalizer." This statement has certainly been proven untrue between individuals and among the different economic, racial, and ethnic segments of society. But it is also untrue on a global scale. Different countries have approached and handled the coronavirus in different ways, with very differing results. In this dynamic episode, the Espresso Talk Today team compares the development of the coronavirus in European countries and the United States. The team also compares the countries' tactics for fighting the coronavirus and limiting its spread and mortality. Using first-hand experience, Robin, Hans, and Ben discuss the successes and failures of these different approaches as well as life during this pandemic. Join this unique discussion with experiences from your country.
