The COVID-19 virus has been in the headlines for months, and it is unlikely this will change in the near future. The information around the pandemic is exponentially increasing every single day, but how can we determine which portion of these reports is fake, sensationalist, and meant to provoke collective hysteria?

Dr. Rosie Sendher and Dr. Erica Fisk sit down with Dr. Mohit Bhandari, the president of the Canadian Orthopedic Association, to chat about a concerning issue for both the scientific community and the world’s population: the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Bhandari is a professor and university scholar at McMaster University and the founder and CEO of Orthoevidence. He is also the recipient of the Order of Canada.

Due to the nature of the pandemic, there is an overwhelming amount of reports out there, which makes us question: can conventional and social media be trusted as reliable sources? Listen now to learn how to filter, distill, and dissect both the data and articles you may bump into as you navigate sources. Remember: awareness and skepticism are key.
