Who Cares About Covid?

In our final episode of the series, we’ve invited two science experts from the “Let’s Learn Everything” podcast to share their knowledge and insights on the importance of vaccines, the science and the reasons for getting them, and the things we can all do to help us live safely with Covid-19.

When your friend tells you about a major news event, a forest fire, an election or a celebrity scandal, which app do you open first? With the rise of TikTok during the Covid lockdowns, and so many creators sharing news, updates and opinions, how has this influenced young people’s perceptions of the pandemic? And what is the responsibility of creators to provide accurate information online. We’re joined by HTMLJones (@htmljones) and Sully Iqbal (@sully_iqbal) to take a hard look at this topic with our host, Andrea (@crispylucia).

When the world was plunged into lockdowns in March 2020, nobody expected one of the defining moments of the pandemic to be global protests for racial justice and equality, sparked by the murder of George Floyd by police officers in America. We’re joined by two creators of colour - Madeline (@madelinemawusi) and Mehek (@mehek.mp4) - to explore the events of that time, how racism has impacted them, and what the challenges and anxieties their communities faced being among the worst impacted by Covid-19.
