Ep. 24.5 Bonus Minisode: Coronavirus!

Hi Everyone, Happy Year of the Rat! This is a special mini-episode we are releasing on the novel coronavirus currently infecting people in China (and now elsewhere). This short episode covers what a coronavirus is in general, and what we know about this new one. It also has a little conspiracy theory stuff at the end, but that's just for light hearted purposes, because all in all new diseases can be dour business. Listen in to learn some stuff, and realistically, don't panic!
