Let's Get Together
Every state in the U.S. has partially reopened, but health officials are still worried about COVID-19. What does it all mean for summer soirees and backyard barbecues? May and Sam look for answers by dreaming up a socially distanced party of their own, with guidance from Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The doctor’s advice raises questions about the smartest way to hang out with friends and family, and sets up the big finale: Will May and Sam finally get to meet up in person?

This Has Happened Before: Lessons From The 1918 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult, but it’s hardly unprecedented. In 1918, the Spanish flu pandemic sickened or killed millions around the globe. In this episode, we look at the lessons of 1918: How did society change when it was all over? What hints might it offer to us as we think about what our world will look like in a few months or years? Monica Schoch-Spana, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, offers May and Sam a look back as well as some predictions. By the way: The team that makes At A Distance is thinking about what the future of this podcast should look like. So we’re asking listeners: What do you want to hear more of from At A Distance? What should we do less? What other changes to the show should we consider? Email us: <a href="mailto:atadistance@cpr.org" target="_blank">atadistance@cpr.org</a>.

Feeling Uncertain Right Now? Here’s How To Handle It
The lack of scientific clarity around COVID-19 has offered a perfect opening for conspiracy theories. May and Sam talk to a scientist monitoring those rumors online: Jevin West of the Center For An Informed Public at the University of Washington. He explains how accepting a certain level of uncertainty around the pandemic can help people resist easy answers and, over time, inch closer to the truth.
