Challah Talk S2-E7: Jeff Markham

Life in Lockdown is a three part Challah Talk special exploring the impact of COVID-19. In Part 2, we talk with eighteen year old Matt Zhang about life in China during the Coronavirus outbreak.  What you'll hear is both alarming and reassuring: this virus is to be taken seriously, but it can be contained. The primary mode of containment is Social Distancing, and Matt talks about how it has helped China limit the spread of Coronavirus. He also has some advice for fellow high-schoolers bracing for isolation and E-Learning.
